The lake at the foot of the mountains is part of a system of shallow lakes which once covered much of the Valley of Mexico. I am not 100% sure, but I think the one in this picture would be Lake Chalco, and perhaps in the middle is the town of Chalco, which today is a part of the urban agglomeration of Mexico City. Perhaps someone would be able to confirm that for me. (Alejandro, are you reading this?)
I do not know what you mean.
ReplyDeleteDo I have face professor of history and geography? Lol.
But you're right, is the Lake Chalco and currently is a town that you visited and I do not think you've seen a lake. Remember it was a beautiful city-market. Lol.
Would you give the name of "Magic Town"?
No, I don't think that Chalco will ever win the designation of "Magic Town". lol However, I did see Lake Chalco. Remember when we were returning to D.F. from Tlayacapan? We could see a lake, and you said it was Chalco.
DeleteI just did a quick look at Google Maps, and the view is looking southeast, I'd agree that it's lake Chalco. As you might know, Chalco is one of the more flood-prone parts of the city, and there has been some discussion of restoring the lake to help control floods.
