Neon sulphur pools, salt flats 125 m below sea level and the Erta Ale lava lake — the hottest inhabited place on Earth.

Waterfall dropping through three natural bridges into a cave shaft.

Otherworldly landscape of limestone chimneys.

Young fissure volcano between spreading tectonic rifts.

Downhill ride along the cliff-hugging old Yungas road from La Paz.
