Lake Saracocha (possibly from Quechua sara maize, qucha lake, lagoon)[2] is a lake in the Cabanillas District, Puno Region, southeastern Peru.

These two Andean highland lakes are part of the system drained by the Coata River, which flows in a generally easterly direction until entering westernmost Lake Titicaca, about 50 km (30 mi) from Lake Saracocha as the crow flies.

[3][4] The lake is home to Orestias pupfish.

Rainbow trout have been introduced, which probably played a role in the apparent disappearance of the relatively small local "crawfordi" form of the Titicaca water frog.
