Volcán Ollagüe (also known as Oyahué) is a massive andesitic stratovolcano in northern Chile on the border with Bolivia. It contains a dacitic summit lava dome. No historical eruptions have been confirmed from Ollagüe, but there is intense fumarolic activity and a persistent steam plume emanates from a fumarole on the south side of the summit dome. There are active sulphur mines on the upper western and southern flanks of the volcano which are serviced by a now disused switchback road which reaches 5650 m elevation and rank as one of the highest in the world.

The whole population was relocated from the old village about 12 miles away to enable the mining of a huge silver deposit. Although the rest of the village is newly built, the 17th century church was dismantled brick by brick and rebuilt.

The classic perspective shot on the salt flats.The guides and drivers are well practised in the process, they usually carry toys in the vehicles if you should wish to use them, I preferred the human version!
