On the Laguna Blanca are feeding flamingos and vicuñas use it as a source of water.
The Laguna Verde is the most toxic one in the region and is full of lithium, sulphur and other toxic minerals.
Guarding the Laguna Verde is the most important volcano of the region. With an altitude 5 927 m.a.s.l. is the highest one in the area. It had great importance during Inca Empire as it's been used for human sacrifice.
