Wallatani (Aymara wallata snow ball, snow lump / Andean goose,[2] -ni a suffix to indicate ownership, "the one with a snow ball", "the one with a snow lump" or "the one with the Andean goose", hispanicized spelling Huallatani) is a lake in the Bolivian Andes situated in the southern section of the Cordillera Kimsa Cruz. It is situated 4,939 m high at the foot of the mountains Wallatani[3] and San Luis (5,620 m), near Jach'a Khunu Qullu and Wayna Khunu Qullu[4] in the La Paz Department, Inquisivi Province, Quime Municipality.[5]
