Chungará is a lake situated in the extreme north of Chile at an elevation of 4,517 metres, in the Altiplano of Arica y Parinacota Region in the Lauca National Park. It has a surface area of about 21.5–22.5 square kilometres and has a maximum depth of about 26–40 metres. It receives inflow through the Río Chungara with some minor additional inflows, and loses most of its water to evaporation; seepage into the Laguna Quta Qutani plays a minor role. ()
