Lake Tequesquitengo
Lago de Tequesquitengo
A resort lake in southern Morelos known for water-skiing, speedboats, hot-air balloons and skydiving, and a weekend water playground for Mexico City residents.
The lake is known as Mexico's water-skiing capital. Along the shore you will find water-skiing schools, banana boat and speedboat rentals, and many private holiday houses and restaurants. Early in the morning you can take a hot-air balloon over the lake and the surrounding sugarcane fields, and a skydiving base is nearby. The lake bed once covered an old village, and when the water level drops, the bell tower of an old church becomes visible. The lake is about 35 km south of Cuernavaca, roughly 45 minutes' drive. It is quieter on weekdays.
