The Lakes

Children dive off rocks into the clear blue water as a couple of their friends paddle by on a raft made of three logs lashed together.

Looking across Lago Tziscao there is not a building in site and the water stretches around out of site in both directions. This is the largest of the 58 Lagos de Montebello and is a 15-minute walk from the Guatemala border.

While you are in the area you will also want to check out Los Lagos de Colores, a group of five lakes that range in color from green to turquoise to deep blue.
