Ch'uxña Quta (Aymara ch'uxña green,[2] quta lake,[3] "green lake", hispanicized spelling Chojna Kkota, Choiña Kkota) is a lake in the Apolobamba mountain range of Bolivia situated in the La Paz Department, Bautista Saavedra Province, Curva Municipality, Calaya Canton. It lies about 5,543 metres (18,186 ft) above sea level, 4 km north west of Mount Iskillani (Isquillani).
Ch'uxña Quta gets waters from the about 5,617 m (18,428 ft) high Ulla Q'alla (Ulla Khaya) east of it.[4] This stream also connects Ch'uxña Quta with the larger lake Janq'u Qala in the south west. Afterwards it flows to Such'i River.
