Lake Tauca is a former lake in the Altiplano of Bolivia. It is also known as Lake Pocoyu for its constituent lakes: Lake Poopó, Salar de Coipasa and Salar de Uyuni. The lake covered large parts of the southern Altiplano between the Eastern Cordillera and the Western Cordillera, covering an estimated 48,000 to 80,000 square kilometres (19,000 to 31,000 sq mi) of the basins of present-day Lake Poopó and the Salars of Uyuni, Coipasa and adjacent basins. Water levels varied, possibly reaching 3,800 metres (12,500 ft) in altitude. The lake was saline. The lake received water from Lake Titicaca, but whether this contributed most of Tauca's water or only a small amount is controversial; the quantity was sufficient to influence the local climate and depress the underlying terrain with its weight.

  • El lago Tauca es un antiguo lago en el Altiplano de Bolivia. También es conocido como lago Pocoyú por los lagos que lo componen: el lago Poopó, el salar de Coipasa y el salar de Uyuni. El lago cubría gran parte del Altiplano sur entre la Cordillera Oriental y la Cordillera Occidental, cubriendo un estimado de 48 000 a 80 000 kilómetros cuadrados de las cuencas del actual lago Poopó y los salares de Uyuni, Coipasa y cuencas adyacentes. Los niveles de agua variaron, posiblemente alcanzando los 3800 metros de altitud. El lago recibió agua del lago Titicaca, pero si esto contribuyó con la mayor parte del agua de Tauca o solo con una pequeña cantidad es controvertido; la cantidad fue suficiente para influir en el clima local y deprimir el terreno subyacente con su peso.
