NATURE


 

Chaco - a vast plain in Paraguay, three times larger than the Czech Republic. Laguna Capitán - an area of salty lagoons. During our visit they was parched. The salt from lagoons causes multiple wane of trees.
The Andes - a picture of majestic mountains along the border of Argentina and Chile. The rocks are colored to green by copper, red by iron and yellow by sulphur. The Atacama desert - the most driest place on the Earth. Large rocky plains without any vegetation. Natural hell, but astronomical paradise.
The Bottle Tree - the  most typical tree in Chaco. It has bulbous trunk with spines and top with strange fruits. After opening they are full of seeds and something like cotton. A wad of grass in Andes, Argentina.
