Lake Ñahuimpuquio[1][2] (possibly from Quechua ñawi button hole / eye, -n a suffix, pukyu spring of water / source / well)[3] is a lake in Peru located in the Junín Region, Chupaca Province, Ahuac District.[4] Ñahuimpuquio lies northwest of Ahuac and next to the village of Ñahuimpuquio[1][4] at 3,400 metres (11,155 ft) above sea level.[2]
Lake Ñahuimpuquio is one of the main tourist attractions at the town of Chupaca since the town and the archaeological remains of Arwaturo are close to the lake; visiting the three places can be done in an hour walk.[2]
