Janq'u Quta (Inquisivi)

Janq'u Quta, also spelled Jancko Kkota, is a lake located in the Inquisivi Province of the La Paz Department in Bolivia. It is situated in the Cordillera Real mountain range, specifically within the Andes. The name "Janq'u Quta" comes from the Aymara language and translates to "White Lake." The name likely refers to the color of the lake, potentially due to mineral deposits, sediment, or glacial melt runoff affecting its appearance. While specific information regarding its depth, surface area, and ecological significance is limited in readily available public sources, Janq'u Quta, like many lakes in the Bolivian Andes, likely plays a role in local water resource management and potentially sustains some level of aquatic life. The area surrounding Janq'u Quta is typically characterized by high-altitude Andean landscapes, often featuring rocky terrain and sparse vegetation.
