Our biggest Sister - LAGUNA EL DULCINO

Dulcino Lake, located in the tourist corridor of the city, is an area where water is the main factor controlling the environment and the plant and animal life associated with its ecosystem, which serves as a habitat for food, shelter, and breeding and reproduction areas for a large number of species of fish, birds, amphibians, reptiles, mammals and invertebrates. It also plays a very important ecological role in the control of erosion, sedimentation and flooding, in the supply and purification of water and in the maintenance of fishing activity. For this reason, it was declared by Dadsa as an Area of Environmental Interest.
