The objective was to estimate the economic benefits of the eco-systemic resources of the Chacas-Juliaca lagoon, the contingent valuation method was applied based on the declared preferences of the users of the lagoon, these data were introduced in a logit econometric model, a recreational service, determining a willingness to pay. The results show an entrance fee of S /. 38 that users are willing to pay, this availability depends on social and economic variables, such as income and the degree of academic education. These benefits will serve to recover the lagoon, allowing to create a fund that allows to conserve and protect the natural resources of the lagoon, currently there is a biotic and abiotic degradation due to the contamination of activities such as fishing and agriculture. Self-sustaining financing is required to conserve this natural resource, preventing future deterioration of the lagoon's ecosystem, allowing it to conserve its natural resources.
