Laguna Rogagua and some smaller lakes are north of [[Santa Rosa, Beni, Bolivia]], and north east of [[Rurrenabaque]] and [[Reyes, Bolivia]]. Some of the popular pampas tours from Rurrenabaque go to the area of Laguna Rogagua or to the area of the [[Yacuma River]].

:'''Rogagua Lake''' is a tropical Bolivian fresh water lake, located in the Amazonian river basin of the Beni Department. The Lake is 21 km in length by 9 km and has an area of 155 km² and perimeter of 52 kilometers, and is thus one of greatest lakes of Bolivia. Rogagua is an important reservoir for fresh water and wild life.
