Beskrivning
Laguna Alalay is located in a high valley at a transition zone between the tropical cloud and mountain forests of Chapares and the high Andean habitats, such as those of Tunari National Park. It offers interesting observation opportunities in every season and is easily accessible (although the trails should only be used after registration or consultation with the local officers of the Guardia Ambiental (headquarters on the northern edge of the lake, marked 1 on the map). More than 250 bird species have been recorded there.
The area is home to more than 70 breeding bird species, the most common of which are Ruddy Duck, White-cheeked Pintail, Yellow-billed Pintail, Slate-colored Coot, Common Gallinule, Cattle Egret, Black-necked Stilt and White-tufted Grebe.
Seven Andean endemics breed: Puna Teal, Silvery Grebe, Puna Ibis, Puna Plover, Andean Avocet, Bare-faced Ground Dove and Brown-backed Mockingbird. One endemic species for Central and South America: Yellow-chevroned Parakeet. And one endemic species for Bolivia: Bolivian Blackbird.
In addition, the area can hold surprises during migration. Andean Flamingo, James's Flamingo, Chilean Flamingo, Andean Lapwing and Roseate Spoonbill use Laguna Alalay as a resting place, as do waders of the species Lesser Yellowlegs, Greater Yellowlegs and Wilson's Phalarope.
Particularly attractive species that can be observed include Sparkling Violetear, Glittering-bellied Emerald, Red-tailed Comet, Southern Caracara, Roadside Hawk, Red-crested Cardinal and Many-colored Rush Tyrant.

JaExtra information
The area has been severely affected by (plastic) pollution in the surrounding area and the introduction of wastewater, which can lead to algal blooms, unpleasant odors, and fish mortality. Land acquisition for recreational use (adjacent soccer fields), uncontrolled burning of reeds, and dogs running loose have all endangered reed-nesting bird species.
