Lake Junín

                Lake Junín (Lago Junín, Chinchaycocha) is the largest lake entirely within Peru. Even though Lake Titicaca has a much larger area, its eastern half is located on Bolivian territory. It is located at approximately 4,082 metres (13,392 ft) above sea level, and it had a surface of 529.88 square kilometres (204.59 sq mi).
                Most of the lake is located in the Junín Province of the Junín Region, its northwestern tip belongs to the Pasco Province, which is in the Pasco Region. The primary outflows are Upamayo and Mantaro River. Lake Junín has two endemic birds: The critically endangered Junín Flightless Grebe (Podiceps taczanowskii) and the endangered Junín Rail (Laterallus tuerosi).
