El Bosque de las Truchas, Eco-park in Huasca de Ocampo, Mexico
El Bosque de las Truchas is an eco-park featuring lakes surrounded by forest and equipped with recreational facilities for outdoor activities. The landscape combines wooded areas with open water surfaces and offers space for hiking, boating, and other nature-based pursuits.
The park contains the Cueva del Conde de Regla, a cave dating to the 18th century that reflects the mining heritage of the Huasca region. This site demonstrates how mining shaped the economic development of the area during that historical period.
Local restaurants within the park prepare fresh trout using traditional cooking methods passed down through generations in the region. Visitors can enjoy these meals while sitting near the water and experiencing local food customs firsthand.
The park is easy to navigate with clear paths suitable for various fitness levels, ranging from simple walks to more demanding hikes. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and prepare for changing weather conditions, especially when exploring forest areas.
The lakes display a turquoise color caused by dissolved minerals and calcium carbonate that refract sunlight passing through the water. This unusual hue is not found in most natural lakes of the region and creates a visually distinctive environment.
