Algal blooms are an increasing threat to lakes worldwide. This phenomenon has been studied worldwide but still a better understanding is needed of how algal bloom driving factors are affected by low-latitude and high-altitude conditions. Four regions were compared: Lakes at low-latitude and low-altitude; low-latitude and high-altitude; mid-latitude and low-altitude; and, mid-latitude and high-altitude. The influence of altitude in determining climate was more noticeable for low latitudes than for mid-latitude regions. For the deeper areas of a low-latitude lake, the latitudinal influence seems to be more relevant, as those lakes have a more stable stratification throughout the year. Anthropogenic activities (agriculture runoff, sewage discharge with low or no treatment and tourism) in the lake and its basin have a higher influence than the lake’s position within the hydrological network on the trophic status of high altitude lakes. Water quality parameters were analysed in Puno Bay, as an example of high altitude lake at low latitude. The increasing trend of parameters related to turbidity in Inner Puno Bay seemed to indicate the shift to a more turbid state for this area of Puno Bay. The limited exchange between Inner Puno Bay (IPB) and Outer Puno Bay (OPB) along with a higher external loading of nutrients for IPB than for OPB may play a role for IPB to have significantly higher values of water quality parameters. As IPB is a shallow water body, it is more exposed to the effect of the wind and the effect of daily temperature variation. Moreover, the connection of OPB with Lago Mayor may also enhance the mixing and the dilution of nutrients in OPB.
