Is it just me, or does the name “Zungarococha” just roll off the tongue? We are standing right here on the shores of Zungaro Cocha, which by the way, translates to “zungaro lagoon” or “zungaro lake.” The “zungaro” part refers to a type of catfish found in these waters. Lake Zungarococha has been a vital part of this ecosystem for centuries, even before the arrival of the Spanish. Imagine indigenous communities gathering resources and fishing these waters, their lives interwoven with the lake’s ebb and flow. Later, the lake witnessed the rubber boom, seeing boats laden with rubber pass by. Today, Zungaro Cocha, just a short hop from Iquitos, draws visitors with its tranquil beauty. As you gaze across the water, remember, beneath its surface swims the very fish that gives the lake its unique name.
