In Rocha, Uruguay is the lagoon of the same name, declared National Park in 1977. The lake occupies about 72 km2, with a strip of sand that separates the sea, which opens periodically.

This natural habitat is sighted over 200 species of birds among which we highlight the Chilean flamingo and black-necked swan. Beside the Lagoon Otter is of great importance for the diversity of its fauna. There you can see swans, herons, ducks, Bigua and screamers. At about 14 km west National Park is an important viewpoint Lakeside, which lends much to the bird watching.
