Thought that I'd start a thread with some images of travels through Bolivia in August and September, 2013.
A large portion of the Altiplano in the south west of Bolivia is quite dry and rugged, but as the winter snows melt the fresh water trickles down between the valleys in small streams. In such places grow the grasses that are the favourites of camelids like the Llama (pronounced Yama for anyone who is not familiar with the use of the double L in Spanish). Near the end of our trip through the Altiplano we happened upon this herd of Llamas grazing in amongst the melting snow and ice. Given the contrast between the terrain we had been driving through and this place, we could think of no better name for it than "Llama Heaven"
