Laguna de Totolcingo, Saline lake in Oriental Basin, Mexico.
The Laguna de Totolcingo expands during the rainy season from June to October and contracts significantly during the dry months of November to May.
The Oriental Basin where Laguna de Totolcingo sits has been an important water resource for local communities throughout central Mexico's development.
Local inhabitants collect tequesquite, a natural mineral salt from the lake, which they use as a traditional seasoning in Mexican cuisine.
Visitors can reach the lake by taking a 35-kilometer drive from Huamantla, with the journey lasting approximately 30 minutes by car.
The lake's high salinity creates specific conditions where only specialized plants survive, while providing a seasonal refuge for migratory birds from North America.
