Geography
The lake is at an elevation of on the Altiplano. Its surface area is 10.9 km². The lake is long and wide.
The characteristic white colour of the water, that gave the lake its name, is caused by the high amount of minerals suspended in it.
Only a narrow corridor separates Laguna Blanca from the smaller Laguna Verde. Both are within the Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve
