Bosque Los Colomos

Bosque Los Colomos, Urban forest in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Bosque Los Colomos is a forest park in Guadalajara featuring networks of trails, lakes with waterfowl, and diverse native tree species. The grounds include multiple landscape zones with water features and varied vegetation throughout.

In 1893 Governor Luis del Carmen Curiel backed Gabriel Castaños's project to bring water from the Colli springs; Castaños resigned in 1897 and Ambrosio Ulloa took over. Agustín V. Pascal, consulted in 1898, extended the works to the Los Colomos springs, whose water had to be pumped about 400 metres up to join the Colli supply. El Castillo and the water installations, begun in 1898 and inaugurated in 1902, served Guadalajara until the mid-1960s.

El Castillo, the former water administration building, now serves as the park's Casa de la Cultura, hosting drawing, painting, sculpture and folk dance classes for children and adults, plus lectures, film screenings, theatre, concerts and exhibitions. School groups tour the CECA environmental education centre, certified by SEMARNAT on 17 March 2018.

The forest lies on the boundary between Guadalajara and Zapopan, northwest of the city centre. Paths link the lakes, the Japanese garden, picnic areas and the Casa de la Cultura in El Castillo. School groups can book guided interpretive walks and educational camps through the CECAM environmental centre.

The El Castillo building, begun in 1898 and inaugurated in 1902, housed the administration of Los Colomos' waterworks. Engineer Agustín V. Pascal drew on the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago for the project's architecture, and chose AEG electric motors from Germany to lift the spring water about 400 metres.
