Lago de los Reyes

The lake spans 1.9 hectares of water surface surrounded by canals, traditional chinampas farming platforms, and tall ahuejote trees near Mexico City.

The water body represents one of the last remaining parts of Mexico Valley's ancient lake system that sustained Aztec settlements before Spanish colonization.

Local farmers continue to cultivate vegetables and herbs on chinampas, maintaining agricultural methods that date back to pre-Hispanic times.

Visitors can rent traditional wooden boats called trajineras for 300 pesos per hour, with capacity for up to 10 passengers.

From the lake's surface, visitors observe herons, pelicans, and wild ducks against the backdrop of Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl volcanoes.
