Lauca National Park - Chile

I haven't received any cards from Chile in more than 10 years, so when Carolina asked me if we could swap, I immediately said yes. This card is from Lauca National Park, in northern Chile but the card was sent from Easter Island.

 

Lauca National Park has 137.883 hectares protected by its Reserve of the Biosphere status. The park has different attractions like its fauna, topography and flora, found in precordillera between 3200 and 3800 meters above sea level. It has a typical fauna, with more than 100 bird species. Among the animals you can find there are alpacas, llamas, guanacos, vicuñas, pumas, tarucas, vizcachas, foxes, blanquillo, ñandus, puna partridges, huairavo, guallata, Chilean flamenco, the giant tagua, juarjal, puna and jergon duck, and condors. In the National Park it is possible to find amazing volcanoes that are 6,000 meters above sea level, like the Parinacota, Pomerape and Acotando Volcanoes. You can also see lava rivers. There is varied flora in ravines and slopes with Guacara, queñoa, perrito, tola, puscaya, tola supu and chilca forests. Above the 3800 meters, there are plains with exotic flora. The Lauca and Lluta Rivers are part of the park, as well as the Cotacotani Lagoons and the Chungara Lake. - in: https://www.visitchile.com
