In the foothills there are lagoons and impressive glaciers such as Chaupi Orcko. The region is crisscrossed by archaeological sites and pre-Columbian roads. Its inhabitants are of Aymara and Quechua origin and live alongside the Kallawaya communities that preserve their ways of life and ancestral traditions almost unchanged..
