Tajzara (pronounced Taxara in English) is a small region and lake on the arid Altiplano of Bolivia, located in the vicinity of Cordillera de Sama Biological Reserve, Yunchará, José María Avilés Province.

[1] While the surrounding land might appear rather nondescript, is one of the most biologically unique locations in the world.

The name Taxara is also synonymous with the shallow lake that marks the center of the region.

At about 14,000 feet above sea level, it is an extremely high lake.

Most species thrive off the seed that is provided by the arid grassland that characterizes the environment.
