BOLIVIA : Lincanabur volcano

Posted by Sian August - 26 - 2009 - Wednesday

Photo from the book Toilets of the World by Morna E. Gregory and Sian James. Stone outhouse at Lincanabur Volcano, Bolivia.

A dizzying 5900 meters above sea level at its crater, this imposing volcano straddles the border between Bolivia and Chile. The air at the short stone toilet below is so thin that its users are advised not to overexert themselves to avoid altitude sickness. The toilet serves the nearby Thermas de Polques hot springs. Brave visitors to this barren climate can escape the icy Andean winds by immersing themselves in the steaming water bubbling up from the earth.
