View from the road approaching Sajama
A very wooly llama!
An alpaca pelt being dried in the sun
Soaking in the hot springs
The twin Payachata mountains, view from Sajama village
The llamas and alpacas watching us leave Sajama

Site Development in Sajama
This past weekend I went to Sajama to meet with the local tourism organization and get to know the attractions of the Parque Nacional Sajama. It is the highest peak in Bolivia (6, 542 meters). This inactive volcano has snow year-round and is known as a destination for mountain climbers around the world for its relatively moderate climbing difficulty. It is located right on the border of Chile in the Department of Oruro. Along with 3 other Peace Corps volunteers we explored the hot springs, natural geysers, and various species of llama, alpaca, and vicuña. Below are a couple pictures...Enjoy!
