Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) grazing near the shore of Lake Chungará in Lauca National Park in the far north of Chile. In the background is the perfect cone of the Parinacota volcano (6330m / 20,765ft); said to be the highest symmetrical conical volcano in the world. Lake Chungará was formed by a lava dam during an eruption, at 4517m /14,820ft it is one of the highest large lakes in South America. The Park is also part of the Lauca Biosphere Reserve, recognised by UNESCO in 1981.
