Laguna de Tuxpan, Lake in Iguala de la Independencia, Mexico.
Laguna de Tuxpan is a lake in Iguala de la Independencia that consists of separate zones where fresh and brackish water meet. The water conditions shift throughout the year due to seasonal rainfall and the influence of nearby rivers.
The lake formed through connections with river systems that flow toward the Gulf of Mexico. Over time, these waterways created the body of water and its distinct zones seen today.
Local communities maintain regular monitoring of the lake's water levels and quality, as the body of water holds environmental significance for the region.
Plan your visit considering the seasonal climate, as water levels and weather change throughout the year. The driest months from March to April are generally easier for visiting, while the rainy season can make access more challenging.
The water shifts between fresh and salty conditions depending on which zone of the lake you explore. Each area supports different fish species adapted to its particular water type.
