Lake Lauricocha[1][2] (possibly from Huánuco Quechua lawri bluish,[3] Quechua qucha lake, lagoon,[4] "bluish lake") is a lake in the Andes mountains of central Peru, within Huánuco Region.

Geography

The lake is located near Raura mountain range[2] and has a surface elevation of 3,845 m and has an eastern-western orientation.[1] It has {{convert|7|km|mi|0}} of length, {{convert|1.5|km|mi|0}} of width and an average depth of 75 m.[2] The lake is part of the basin of the Lauricocha River, A Jesuit priest named Samuel Fritz drew a map in 1707 which showed the Marañón River as the main stream of the Amazon River. He identified Lake Lauricocha as the source of the Amazon.[5] Several additional places have since been proposed as sources of the Amazon.

Ecology

Certain parts on the lake shores are covered with reeds.[2] The predominant species in the lake is the introduced trout.[2] Among the fauna present around the lake are birds like ducks, tinamous and hawks; and mammals like tarucas, vizcachas, foxes and skunks.[2]
