Cuatro Ciénegas, Administrative division in Coahuila, Mexico.
The municipality of Cuatro Ciénegas encompasses 1,500 square kilometers of desert terrain with natural springs, white sand dunes, and marble walls in northern Mexico.
Antonio Cordero y Bustamante established the settlement on May 24, 1800, initially naming it Nuestra Señora de los Dolores y Cuatro Ciénegas.
The name Cuatro Ciénegas derives from Spanish meaning 'four marshes', referring to the natural springs that form wetland areas throughout the region.
The municipality connects to major cities through bus services from Coahuilenses and Transportes del Norte, with regular departures to Saltillo, Monterrey, and Torreón.
The area contains numerous endemic species, including the Minckley mojarra fish, black aquatic turtle, and freshwater stromatolites in its protected wetland ecosystems.
