Colhue Huapi

Colhué Huapi is a shallow lake in the dry Patagonian lowlands, east of the deeper Lake Musters. Both receive water from the Senguerr basin, whose river rises among the Andean lakes. The shallow lake is especially sensitive to changes in water supply and wind, which can expose and carry its fine sediments. Its shores lie amid steppe, far from the wet forests of the mountains to the west.
