Monte Lagoon

Laguna del Monte is part of the chain of lakes in the western pampas of Buenos Aires. It receives water from the neighbouring Cochicó lagoon and drains towards Laguna del Venado within a basin without an outlet to the sea. Water levels fluctuate greatly between drought and flood, changing the shoreline and exposing traces of earlier human occupation. Shallow water and surrounding grasslands form a distinctive wetland amid the plains.
