Lake Belaunde (Quechua : Sulla Qucha), is a natural reservoir of fresh water located in the district of Chacas, Ancash, in the area of the Cordillera Blanca at 4500 meters. It originated from the deglaciation of glacier Yanarahu in 1968. It was renamed in honor of former President Fernando Belaunde Terry, who supported the construction of the AN-107 Route, which runs along its banks south and east.
