Local Specialties at Lake Junin

10,000 Birds

There is a rich assortment of Andean ducks, coots, and other waterfowl. The Juni Rail is considered by some to be a sub-species of the wide-spread Black Rail seems. Llamas and wild guinea pigs are also found here. The best time to visit the lake is outside the wet season. Junin Canastero Photo: Cesar Zeballos.
