Árbol de Piedra ("stone tree") is an isolated rock formation in the
Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve of
Sur Lípez Province,
Bolivia. Much photographed, it projects out of the
altiplano sand dunes of Siloli in the
Potosí Department, about
18 kilometres (11 mi) north of
Laguna Colorada. Known as the "Stone Tree," it is shaped like a stunted tree, and is formed into a thin rock because of strong winds and the material is sand stone.
