Laguna de Tecocomulco, Freshwater lake in Hidalgo State, Mexico.
The Laguna de Tecocomulco extends across 1,769 hectares at an elevation of 2,514 meters within the endorrheic basin of central Mexico.
This water body represents the final section of the ancient freshwater system that previously covered the entire Mexico Valley Basin region.
The lake maintains strong connections to local communities through regulated fishing practices, with Asian Carp serving as a primary commercial resource.
Visitors can observe up to 15 species of ducks throughout the year, with winter populations reaching 5,000 Ruddy Ducks and 3,000 Moorhens.
The endangered Axolotl salamander finds sanctuary in this ecosystem, which experiences water level changes due to underlying aquifer recharge patterns.
