Local Specialties at Lake Junin

10,000 Birds

The Lake’s area is highly variable ranging from 150 to 400 km2 depending on the amount of water present. 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. Junin Rail Photo: Cesar Zeballos. Junin Canastero Photo: Cesar Zeballos.
