An old colonial-era church located in Sajama National Park in Bolivia is dwarfed by the Parinacota Volcano in neighboring Chile.

A modern building made with classic materials was constructed for tourists in the high-altitude village of Tomarapi in Sajama National Park in the western Andean highlands. The massive snow-capped peak in the background is Mt. Sajama (Bolivia's highest) and is considered sacred mountain for the locals and is also climbed by mountaineers from all over the world.
