Lake Arareko
Lago de Arareko
A horseshoe-shaped lake about 8 km southeast of Creel, surrounded by pine forests and unusual rock formations, with boating, horseback riding, and camping.
The lake lies on the lands of the Rarámuri Arareko community. A small community entrance fee is charged. Small boats and horses can be rented on the lakeshore, and there are loop trails around the lake, as well as cabins and campsites nearby. From Creel you can cycle or join a half-day tour, which often combines Valle de los Hongos y de las Ranas, Valle de los Monjes (Bisabírachi), and Misión de San Ignacio de Arareko.
