The lake is situated at a height of 4,565 metres (14,977 ft) south of the mountain Wayna Potosí, at the foot of Chacaltaya. It is about 1.83 km long and 1 km at its widest point. The surface is 2.37 km² (0.92 sq mi).[3] At the south side there is a dam.
Milluni Lake is also called Milluni Grande (Spanish for big) in order to distinguish it from a smaller, half moon shaped lake next to it in the north, Milluni Chico (Spanish for small), which is situated at a height of 4,585 m.
