“Not Bolivia, but Kazakhstan”: Stunning lake captured by Kazakh traveler

Tengrinews.kz - A stunning video of a lake in Kazakhstan's Atyrau region has captivated social media users, with nearly 200,000 views on Instagram alone. The atmospheric footage was shared by travel blogger Dastan on his account, sparking widespread admiration and curiosity about the location.

“This is Kazakhstan, not Bolivia. Inder. Atyrau. Kazakhstan,” Dastan wrote, highlighting the breathtaking scenery in his post.

The video has garnered numerous comments, with viewers expressing their amazement and eagerness to visit the site.

“True art,” “Incredible beauty!” and “When can you see this?” were some of the enthusiastic responses.

Dastan explained that he filmed the video recently, following a tip from local residents.

“They told me there was a place that looks like Bolivia. I decided to check it out. The lake is shallow, and the filming took just half an hour,” he said.

The locals likely referred to the Uyuni Salt Flat in Bolivia, which becomes a mirror-like surface during the rainy season. Similarly, the lake in Kazakhstan’s Inder also reflects “the beauty of the clouds and sky,” making it a popular destination for tourists in the Atyrau region.
