Description
Few cemeteries enjoy as spectacular a location as this one outside the tiny, semi abandoned village of Caquena, high in the Andes in northern Chile. The plastic flowers added a lovely splash of colour and had been placed relatively recently; the colours fade quickly in the strong high altitude sun and dry winds. In the background are the Payachatas ("twin" in the Aymara language) volcanos which lie on the Bolivia border. Individually they are Pomerape (L, 6282m / 20,610ft) and Parinacota (R, 6342m / 20,805ft). This area was recently included in the Lauca Biosphere Reserve, initially recognised by UNESCO in 1981 and then expanded in September 2021.
