Bolivia's oldest national park protecting the towering peak of Nevado Sajama and the ancient Queñoa forests of the high Altiplano

Sajama National Park

Sajama National Park is Bolivia's oldest national park, established in 1939 to protect the remarkable Queñoa de Altura forests that grow on the hillsides of this harsh Andean landscape. Located in the Oruro Department of western Bolivia, the park encompasses elevations ranging from 4,200 to 6,542 meters, with its centerpiece being Nevado Sajama, the highest mountain in Bolivia. The park forms part of the Central Andean dry puna ecoregion and shares its southern border with Chile's Lauca National Park, creating a transboundary protected area complex. The park is home to the indigenous Aymara people, whose ancient culture remains deeply interwoven with the landscape through llama and alpaca herding, traditional textiles, and sacred sites including Chullpas funerary towers and ancient pilgrimage routes known as the Sajama Lines.
