This body of water has been important to local communities since ancient times, serving as a water source for farmers and townspeople. Today it is part of Cochabamba city's water system and supplies the region with water for daily use and agriculture.
The name Escalerani comes from the local Quechua language and refers to the surrounding landscape. On weekends and holidays, local people gather here for picnics and small celebrations where they share food and stories together.
The location is easy to reach from Quillacollo and best visited in early morning or late afternoon when it is quieter. The shores are easy to walk along and accessible for visitors of all ages.
The water in the lagoon is slightly cooler than in other nearby lakes and ponds, making it refreshing on hot days. Herons and ducks regularly appear here, making it a good spot for birdwatching.
