Achocalla is a highland town in the southwestern part of the Bolivian Department of La Paz, about 20 kilometers from the capital city of La Paz, nestled in the eastern foothills of the Andes Mountains, with an average altitude of more than 3,800 meters. It is best known for the Laguna de Achocalla, an important wetland ecosystem in western Bolivia, whose surface changes with the seasons, revealing a large area of salt flats during the rainy season and a large area of saline alkaline soil during the dry season, attracting many birdwatchers and nature photography enthusiasts. The local population, mostly indigenous to Aymara, retains its traditional farming and animal husbandry lifestyles, and salt processing around the lake is a long-established industry. As a tourist destination on the outskirts of La Paz, Ajocaya offers both the natural splendor of the Bolivian highlands and the deep cultural heritage of the indigenous people.
