Bolivia in three places: La Paz’s cable network, Los Lípez and Chiquitos
The Ramsar site overview describes Los Lípez as a 1,427,717 ha high-Andean complex of saline and brackish lakes and geothermal wetlands; it labels the most recent RIS information as 2009. In La Paz and El Alto, the first Mi Teleférico line opened in 2014. In eastern Bolivia, APAC’s festival has presented mission-archive music at concerts and church liturgies since 1996.

A place worth remembering
Mi Teleférico: a dated expansion to ten lines
A transport-ministry plan for 2021–2025 gives a dated picture of Mi Teleférico’s expansion: the Red Line began service on 30 May 2014, and the Silver Line opened on 9 March 2019 as the tenth line in operation, closing the Metropolitan Integration Network. A table in the same plan lists seven lines opened between 2017 and March 2019. The figures describe the plan’s 2019 network snapshot.[4][5]
Los Lípez: the Ramsar site first listed as Laguna Colorada
The current Ramsar entry is titled Los Lípez. The site was 51,318 ha when first added in 1990 under the name Laguna Colorada; an extension effective 13 July 2009 brought the listed area to 1,427,717 ha. The high-altitude complex includes permanent saline or hypersaline lakes, brackish lakes, bofedales and geothermal wetlands. In its latest information, dated 2009, Ramsar estimates that about 25% of the global Andean flamingo population (Phoenicoparrus andinus) and about 50% of James’s flamingos (Phoenicoparrus jamesi) concentrated there.[1]

Good to know
A few clear answers before you explore.
How many lines did the transport ministry list by March 2019?
The ministry’s 2021–2025 plan counts ten lines in operation, and its map names Roja, Amarilla, Verde, Azul, Naranja, Blanca, Celeste, Morada, Café and Plateada. It says Plateada opened on 9 March 2019 and completed the Metropolitan Integration Network.[4]
What area did Ramsar report at the 1990 listing and after the 2009 extension?
The overview lists 51,318 ha at the 1990 designation as Laguna Colorada and says the 13 July 2009 extension brought the area to 1,427,717 ha. The same page lists the site as Los Lípez.[1]
Which are the six Chiquitos missions on the UNESCO list?
San Francisco Javier, Concepción, Santa Ana, San Miguel, San Rafael and San José. APAC, which spells the first one San Xavier, also names San Ignacio de Velasco, Santiago de Chiquitos and Santo Corazón as other missions of the region that the UNESCO listing does not include.[2][3]
