MEXICO ~ Camécuaro Lake - Michoacán ~

... Fantastic new National Park postcard💚... lying in the Lago de Camécuaro National Park, Lake Camecuaro is small but packed with natural beauty... this spectacular lake has tall and old cypress trees (Ahuehuete tree)  around it as well as in it, which are truly incredible to see from its roots up... it is spring-fed, so you’ll see crystal clear blue and green waters... even though the lake is relatively small, many photographers from all over Mexico come to take professional photographs that capture the parks picturesque views... a little piece of paradise and a hidden gem for locals and tourists... Thanks a lot Gabino! (✿ ♥‿♥)

Lago de Camécuaro National Park is located east of the city of Zamora de Hidalgo in the municipality of Tangancícuaro in the state of Michoacán. The Park consists of 9.65 hectares of protected area including Camécuaro Lake which is supplied by a series of natural springs.

Camécuaro derives from the native language purépecha or tarasca which means "Place of Bathing"

Lake Camecurao was declared a national park by President Lázaro Cárdenas del Río in 1940 in efforts to conserve the flora and fauna found there. The presidential decree was later signed into law in 1941.
