About Poopó Lake (Poopó Gölü)
Lake Poopó is a large saline lake located in a shallow depression in the Altiplano Mountains in Oruro Department, Bolivia, at an altitude of approximately 3,700 m. Because the lake was long and wide, it made up the eastern half of the department, known as a mining region in southwest Bolivia.
