A close up view of some of the fantastic colors of the former crater area and upper part of the Tunupa volcano (5320m / 17,460ft). Tunupa (sometimes written Thunupa) gets its name from an important Andean deity often associated with storm and lightning. It lies on the northern shore of the Salar de Uyuni salt flat in southwest Bolivia and features in legends about the origins of the Salar (which locals often call the Salar de Tunupa rather than the Salar de Uyuni). Tunupa was mainly active in the Pleistocene era, with most of the volcano constructed by lava flows during eruptions between 1.3 and 1.6 million years ago. No recent eruptions have been recorded and the volcano is considered extinct, though small fumaroles have been reported.
