This work evaluates the effect of mining activity on sediments and water from the Lunar and Cumunni lagoons, in Puno. Surface waters were evaluated in the dry season and rainy season in 2018. The physical-chemical analysis included: pH, conductivity, DO, BOD5, COD, hardness, chlorides and suspended solids. It also included metals (As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Hg, Ni, Pb and Zn) in water and
sediments. The results were compared with Peruvian and Canadian environmental quality standards and reference levels for the United States of America. The results show values outside the established norms, mainly acid pH and hard water. The metals
Cd, Ni, Pb, Fe and Zn also exceed the limits of the standards. The concentration of Hg in sediments reached high values of 20.13 and 33.32 mg / Kg in the rainy and dry season respectively.
