Ageless City of Yerevan

Yerevan is the largest city and capital of Armenia. It is situated along the Hrazdan River, which is not navigable, on the Ararat Plain. Yerevan is a leading industrial, cultural, and scientific centre in the Caucasus region. It is also at the heart of an extensive rail network and is a major trading centre for agricultural products. In addition, industries in the city produce metals, machine tools, electrical equipment, chemicals, textiles, and food products. The city is as old as the mountain ranges of the southern Caucasus and the cryptic several thousand year-old rock carvings which adorn their strewn boulders. From the profound wisdom of Armenia's elderly generation, having overcome genocide, world wars, and decades of suppression, to the innocence of the newborn children of a free Armenia, the hope of the future of a country which has a chance to stand on its two independent feet for the first prolonged time in 600 years. The people of Armenia, old and young, stand in concert and with open arms welcoming first-time visitors, the investor community, or those looking to call Armenia their permanent home.

Laguna Colorada, Bolivia

Laguna Colorada (Red Lagoon) is a shallow salt lake in the southwest of the altiplano of Bolivia, within Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve and close to the border with Chile. It is located at 4278 meters above sea level with a total surface area of 60 square kilometers.

The lake contains borax islands, whose white color contrasts nicely with the reddish color of its waters, which is caused by animal plankton, phytoplankton, red sediments and pigmentation of some algae. The lagoon is one of the Ramsar Wetlands of International Importance under the Ramsar Convention signed in 1971. This place is also known as the “Nest of the Andes” because it shelters more than 30,000 James' Flamingos with some Andean and Chilean flamingos in a minor quantity. They populate Laguna Colorada, eating the algae contained in the water.
