VICUNA - LAUCA NATIONAL PARK by

A Vicuna with Volcan Parinacota in the background – Lauca National Park, Chile. The Vicuna is the most delicate of the South American cameloids – it’s wool is reputed to be the finest and most expensive in the world. Lauca is a magnificent, high altitude park located in far Northern Chile. It straddlles the Chile-Bolivia border.

    You have some interesting photographs Michael, I like this one too he looks cheeky. The mountains really set it off, almost Japanese looking.
