Overview

The Chiarkhota lagoon is a beautiful lake with crystal clear waters located in the royal mountain range, approximately 4700 meters above sea level. It is surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains and is known for its natural beauty and its proximity to Huayna Potosí, a peak popular with mountaineers.
