Description
The Milky Way rises above the belfry of Parinacota village church in Lauca National Park in the far north of Chile. These quaint churches are typical of the high altiplano regions of northern Chile and western Bolivia. Research has shown many of them were built on sites sacred to the indigenous people to encourage them to convert to Catholicism. This one dates from the 17th century though it has since been restored. The Park is also part of the Lauca Biosphere Reserve, recognised by UNESCO in 1981.
