The Laguna de San Carlos, or San Carlos Lagoon, is a crater filled with rainwater. Located next to Cerro Picacho and Cerro La Laguna, it offers a great place for a family trip with kayaking, hiking trails up to Picacho’s top, and great food.

It’s a good place for camping, but be warned of the strong winds that can tear down your tents.

It has clean bathhouses, and the place is managed by the community, so you’ll need to bring cash.

You can arrive by driving towards Coronado and turning right at Las Lajas gas station. It’s a pretty straightforward drive until the pavement changes to a dirt road, and then you have to drive about 8-10 minutes to the entrance.

They close the doors at 6:00 pm and do not allow car access in or out after that time. Entrance is usually affordable for adults and kids, as well as parking spots, but prices may vary according to the season.
