Lake Chapala
The lakes cover a large extension of the surface of Mexico. The largest, precisely, is that of Chapala, which runs from Jalisco to Michoacán in at least one thousand 116 square kilometers.
According to the Chapala tourism site, in general, its climate is temperate and in summer it rains. Previously, it was known as the “Mar Chapalico” and it was used by the pre-Hispanic cultures as a trade route.
In its waters, native vegetation is hidden, such as tripilla, lilies, reed, guaje … Around it is possible to observe deer, coyotes, skunks, rabbits and rattlesnakes.
Lake Chapala is a protected natural area, with a large number of attractions around it: restaurants, boutique hotels, art galleries and vineyards.
Lake Tequesquitengo
In Morelos, Lake Tequesquitengo has spas, restaurants, beach clubs, boat rides, hot air balloon flights, diving and swimming pools on its shores.
According to the government of the entity, the settlers settled in the areas surrounding the lagoon to cultivate corn, sesame and tequesquite, material with which soaps and purgatives for livestock are made.
It is the deepest lake in the country with at least 30 meters. Occasionally, some exotic animals take over its waters, as the town is the birthplace of skunks, opossums, shrews, lynxes and bats.
In addition to the body of water, other attractions near the area: Jardines de México, the Exhacienda de Temixco, the ecological spa of Xochitepec, the Amacuzac river, the Cacahuamilpa caves and the archaeological zone of Xochicalco.
