Laguna de Las Ilusiones, Urban lagoon in Villahermosa, Mexico.

Located in the heart of Villahermosa, Laguna de Las Ilusiones spans across 229 hectares of water surface surrounded by native vegetation and wildlife.

The lagoon received its name in 1929 from Governor Tomás Garrido Canabal, who envisioned it as a centerpiece for the state fair celebrations.

The Parque Museo La Venta, established in 1958 near the lagoon, displays numerous Olmec archaeological artifacts and monumental stone sculptures.

Visitors can access the lagoon through the pedestrian boardwalk, which connects to the Eagle's Viewpoint offering elevated views from 50 meters high.

The dancing fountains at Paseo de las Ilusiones shoot 176 water jets up to 36 meters into the air, creating patterns over the lagoon surface.
