Laguna Brava (Spanish for wild or rough lake, Script error: No such module "IPA".), also known as Yolnabaj is a karstic lake in Guatemala. It is situated in the municipality of Nentón (Huehuetenango), close to the border with Mexico. The lake is fed by several streams and subterraneous watercourses.[1]

The area around Laguna Brava has been inhabited by Mayan communities of the Chuj ethnicity since the 19th century.[2] In the year 2000 a conflict over land usage emerged between indigenous communities depending on the land, and the American owners that just acquired it in order to transform it into a nature reserve.[2]
