Carpenter's Lagoon

Carpenter's Lagoon is a natural body of water in Tampico surrounded by walking paths. An extensive network of trails runs around the water, offering routes for walkers and runners to explore the area.

The lagoon began as a natural water body but transformed in the early 20th century into a recreational space for the city. This change shaped how Tampico developed as an urban area.

Local residents use the lagoon for fishing and waterside meals, particularly on weekends when families gather along the shore. The spot has become a regular meeting place where people enjoy outdoor time together in the community.

The lagoon has several entry points to access the trails and offers parking areas with rest spots along the routes. You can choose to walk a short section or explore the full length depending on your time and interest.

The lagoon serves as a stopover for migratory birds throughout the year, making it a top spot for birdwatching. Wildlife enthusiasts can observe numerous species here, one of the best locations in the area for this activity.
