Lagunas de Zempoala National Park

Lagunas de Zempoala National Park is a natural protected area in Mexico that consists of a group of seven lagoons.

The lagoons of Zempoala are located in a biological corridor named Chichinautzin, between the municipalities of Ocuilan, at the southwestern end of the state of Mexico, and Huitzilac, in the northwestern section of the state of Morelos, 50 km away from Mexico City.

[2] The National Park covers about 4,700 hectares (12,000 acres)[3] and lies at an elevation of about 2,900 meters (9,500 feet) above sea level.

[4] The Park consists of seven lagoons: Zempoala, Compila, Tonatihua, Seca, Ocoyotongo, Quila, and Hueyapan[5] which are supplied with water through rain and the rivers descending from the Ajusco and the surrounding mountains.

In the park there is a possibility of finding a great variety of mammals such as deer,[2] foxes, weasels, rabbits, squirrels, skunks, birds (such as falcons, hummingbirds and sparrows), and amphibians such as the Axolotl.
