San Nicolas Lagoon
Geographical location
28 km southeast of Cajamarca, 8 km east of Namora.
Lake
San Nicolás (Laguna San Nicolás), or Pomahuaca, is not fed by a river but
gets its water primarily from rain. The amount of water and its expansion
are therefore not constant but vary depending on the season. Many birds
populate the area surrounding the lake, such as wild ducks, hummingbirds,
Andean gulls and coots.
