Zacapu Lagoon, Freshwater lagoon in Zacapu, Mexico.
The lagoon extends over 33 hectares within the urban area of Zacapu, fed by 20 natural springs that maintain its water level throughout the year.
The Zacapu Lagoon received international recognition in 2004 when it was designated as a Ramsar wetland site, highlighting its ecological significance for water conservation.
Local residents maintain connections with the lagoon through traditional fishing practices and environmental education programs focused on water resource preservation.
Visitors can observe the native wildlife from designated viewing points around the lagoon, which sits at an elevation of 1,980 meters above sea level.
The lagoon serves as the exclusive habitat for several endemic species, including the Zacapu shiner fish and the Anderson's salamander found nowhere else on Earth.
