geography
Cota Cota Alta is located on the Bolivian Altiplano in the basin of Lake Titicaca, between the Andes mountain ranges of the Cordillera Occidental in the west and the Cordillera Central in the east. The climate in the region is derived from the altitude on the Altiplano and the proximity to the large water surface of Lake Titicaca, which mitigates the temperature fluctuations. Due to the altitude and low cloud cover for large parts of the year, the region has a typical time-of-day climate in which the mean temperature fluctuations during the day are more pronounced than during the course of the seasons.
The annual average temperature is 11 ° C (see climate diagram Achacachi), with the monthly average in the coldest month (July) at 8 ° C only slightly deviating from the warmest month (November to March) at 12 ° C. The climate is arid from June to August with only sporadic rainfall, and it is humid in the summer months, especially from December to March, with monthly rainfall of more than 100 mm. The annual precipitation is around 600 mm.
