Lake Ira Lalaro (also Iralalaro, Ira-Lalaro, Surubec, Suro Bec) is a waterway in Mehara, Administrative post of Tutuala, Municipality of Lautém, Timor-Leste. It is the largest freshwater lake on the island of Timor, and the largest lake in the country of Timor-Leste. The lake waters and that of Irasiquero River are a closed aquatic system; they lie within a huge polje. The surface water area fluctuations from 10–55 square kilometres. Ira Lalaro is part of the Nino Konis Santana National Park (680 square kilometres). The lake is located in a basin bounded by the Paitchau Mountains, within the Lospalos plateau. The region has karstic formations of limestone, with dolines, blind valleys, caves and springs. The lake flows to the east and as the lake water recedes during the dry season the land exposed becomes a pasture or scrubby grassland. The lake basin is surrounded by tropical dry forest which is of biodiversity value. The Irasiquero River, which originates from Lake Ira Lalaro, disappears in the main sink hole, the Mainina, about 3.5 kilometres downstream of the lake outlet, and does not re-appear; tracer studies indicate that the underground route of water flow leads to the coast.

O Lago Ira Lalaro (também Iralalaro, Ira-Lalaro, Surubec, Suro Bec) está localizado em Mehara, no posto administrativo de Tutuala, município de Lautém, em Timor-Leste. É o maior lago de água doce da ilha de Timor, e o maior lago de Timor Leste. As águas do lago e do rio Irasiquero formam um sistema aquático fechado, encontram-se dentro de uma enorme depressão. A área de superfície da água varia entre 10 e 55 quilómetros quadrados. Ira Lalaro faz parte do Parque Nino Konis Santana Nacional (680 quilómetros quadrados). O lago está localizado numa bacia delimitada pela Montanha Paitchau, no planalto de Lospalos. O região tem formações cársticas de calcário, vales fechados, grutas e nascentes. Ira Lalaro flui para leste e, como a água do lago recua durante a estação seca, a terra exposta transforma-se num pasto. A bacia do lago é cercada por floresta tropical seca, fonte de uma enorme biodiversidade. O rio Irasiquero, que nasce do lago Ira Lalaro, desvanece-se no Mainina, um buraco com cerca de 3,5 quilómetros a jusante do lago, e não volta a aparecer, havendo estudos que indicam que a rota subterrânea do rio vai desaguar na costa.
