NATURAL TREASURES 👉🏼Los flamencos altoandinos 🦩 ""𝙇𝙤𝙤𝙠 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 & 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙗𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧." 👉🏼In the inhospitable heights of the altiplano, there are lagoons with scant aquatic vegetation and devoid of fish but populated by flamingos, especially in summer. Why are they there? 👉🏼Flamingos are a group of birds associated with shallow saline aquatic environments, in some cases found up to about 5000 meters above sea level. 🦩In the world, there are six species of flamingos, three of which are found in #southamerica 🦩Those that mainly inhabit the Andes, in the northern Chilean altiplano, southern Peru, western Bolivia, and northwestern #argentina , are the Andean flamingo or "parina grandes," and the Puna flamingo or "parina chica." 👉🏼High Andean flamingos are not considered migratory birds, but they often move unpredictably from one lagoon to another in search of food and breeding sites. 👉🏼In the #puna this is determined by the harsh conditions of winter. At over 4000 meters, many lagoons freeze, and the birds migrate to areas where this does not happen. During the warm months, they disperse throughout the altiplano and descend to lagoons located up to 2500 m.a.s.l. 👉🏼The high Andean flamingo spends the summer season in extreme environments, where it finds food that is inaccessible to other organisms. It has a beak that allows it to feed on the microorganisms that live in these lagoons. 👉🏼The high salinity levels in these lagoons determines that only organisms capable of tolerating such conditions can thrive within them. Among these are plankton, a diverse community of small aquatic organisms, mostly microscopic, which live suspended within the water column. ⭐️This is the food source for flamingos. ‼️High Andean environments are

𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖 𝙏𝙚𝙖𝙢 𝙀𝙭𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜: 🔹️Scouting the High Andes at La Herradura #puna #catamarca Only ten seconds....3, 2, 1... The journey to this destination is breathtakink, and the canyon itself is nothing short of spectacular. 🌟This breathtaking landscape was shaped over millions of years by erosion from the "Río de Agua Caliente," which flows from the world's largest volcanic caldera, "El Galán." The river has carved a deep, narrow valley through the volcanic rock cliffs, sculpting the terrain into its present form. This stunning gorge in the Andes highlights the awe-inspiring majesty of nature. 🦙🦅Wild vicuñas move gracefully across the landscape, while high above, the condor soars silently, its majestic flight and piercing gaze commanding the skies. In this setting of remarkable beauty and rich biodiversity, the interaction between vicuñas and condors not only embodies nature at its purest but also serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of preserving these natural habitats for generations to come. An incredible #adventure ! #socompatravel #traveladventure . #visitargentina #southamerica #travel

💙The journey to a very special place - remote, immense, solitary - generates a reconnection, an inner transformation. DUNAS BLANCAS 📌Catamarca An suddenly...WOW 🤩 The views are incredible! The White Dunes are an amazing geological formation that contrasts with the surrounding landscape #puna These white sand dunes stretch for miles, creating a surreal desert landscape that seems taken from another world. The purity and softness of the white sand contrast with the blue sky and the nearby mountains, creating a visually striking image. 📸 It is an inexhaustible source of inspiration for photography lovers. The combination of white sand, the wavy shapes of the dunes and the changing light create unique scenes and capture magical moments. In addition, the tranquility and vastness of the environment invite contemplation and connect with nature. 👉🏼In northern #argentina , we find a world of dunes rising to over 2,000 meters high, emerging between the hills and changing their shapes depending on the strength and direction of the wind. Every time we visit, we encounter a completely different landscape. #socompatravel . . #traveladventure #adventure #visitargentina #southamerica #travel
