The Dali Desert in South Lipez, Bolivia—where the landscape feels like it belongs in a painting. Stark volcanic shapes, wind-blown sand, and surreal clouds drifting through the high-altitude silence.

Migration from the #Altiplano and restoration of #cañahua, a little-known drought-resistant relative of the #Andean staple crop quinoa.

'Though native crops such as cañahua (Chenopodium pallidicaule) and quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa) were staples in the Andean highlands in pre-Hispanic times, the arrival of wheat during Spanish colonisation threatened to wipe them out.

“The production of cañahua and quinoa was prohibited,” says Trigidia Jiménez Franco, 58, an agronomist who cultivates the Andean plant on her farm, Granja Samiri.'

‘Cañahua chose me’: can an ancient relative of quinoa revive rural Bolivia’s economy?

The effects of the climate crisis and a lack of jobs are driving young people away from the Andean highlands but a long-shunned crop could stem the tide

Trip to Bolivia 2025 - On our way to Uyuni

In Bolivia, the contrasts can be incredible and sometimes my camera had troubles coping with it (I later found out maybe I did not use the correct settings). So I have a simple question (which you can answer in the comments) : do you think this picture is underexposed or ok like that ?

Trip to Bolivia 2025 - part 2 - Uyuni

One of Uyuni's iconic places is its train cemetery. While these late 19th century rusty train wreckages are photogenic, the place is overcrowded ! Managed to take one shot with only a few people...

Sunset on the salar. Each of the pic was taken a couple of minutes from each other... the sun went down quickly and the light soon became dramatic ! We were so lucky to witness the beauty of nature in this amazing place !
