Laguna de los Pájaros is a beautiful glacial lagoon located on the northeast slope of Peñalara Peak, in the Sierra de Guadarrama, within the Sierra de Guadarrama National Park. It is located at an altitude of 2,170 meters above sea level, making it the highest lagoon in the park. During the winter, the lagoon remains frozen, and in summer, although its level fluctuates, it does not disappear completely. It is a popular place for hiking, with routes that offer spectacular views of the surrounding alpine landscape.

It separates the valleys of Valsaín, to the west, and Lozoya, to the east. It also separates the Peñalara massif, to the north, and the Cuerda Larga mountain range, to the south. It receives the name "Los Cotos" because of the small stone posts, called cotos, that existed until the 20th century to indicate the path that crossed it when the snow covered it.
