Laguna de Los Cristales, Natural lagoon in O'Higgins Region, Chile

Laguna de Los Cristales features transparent waters set against a backdrop of Andean mountains at an elevation of 2,286 meters above sea level.

The lagoon's water level increased following the construction of a dam in 1976, which was built to supply irrigation water to the Rengo area.

Local residents maintain stories about a hidden treasure, known as an entierro, believed to rest at the bottom of the lagoon's waters.

The lagoon spans 0.486 square kilometers and provides opportunities for swimming, hiking, and nature observation throughout the surrounding landscape.

The waters of Laguna de Los Cristales reflect the surrounding Andean peaks while supporting the regional ecosystem and agricultural irrigation systems.
