| The Salt Lake of Tunupa (English edition) Asociación Armonía & TOTAL Bolivia, 2000 Text: Lois Jammes & Martin Specht. Watercolours and line sketches: Oscar Tintaya. Photos: Lois Jammes |
The product of months of on-site research, writing, sketching and painting in appalling weather conditions, this delightful little book contains first-hand knowledge of the geology, biodiversity and native culture surrounding Bolivia’s magnificent Salar de Tunupa, the largest salt lake in the world and now the country’s prime tourist attraction. Tunupa (also known as Uyuni) salt lake is also an extremely fragile ecosystem and for centuries has been an important cultural and spiritual reference for local populations.
The book has been donated to local communities and schools, and sold to tourists and conservation organisations. It was sold out long ago, but rumour has it that a second edition is being planned...
