Putkaqucha (Yauli)

Putkaqucha (Yauli) is a small lake located in the Yauli province of the Junín region in Peru. It is part of the central Andes mountain range and situated at a high altitude. The name "Putkaqucha" is derived from Quechua, likely meaning something akin to "mud lake" or "silty lake" based on the root words.

The lake's primary significance lies in its contribution to the local ecosystem and its use by local communities. While not generally known as a major tourist destination, it plays a role in regional water resources and may be used for activities such as fishing or small-scale agriculture.

Further research is needed to determine the exact ecological importance, community usage, and potential geological or hydrological characteristics of Putkaqucha. Data on water quality, biodiversity, and the lake's role in irrigation or livestock management is currently limited in publicly accessible sources. Its specific location and size can be found via satellite imagery or regional maps of the Yauli province.
