Lake Arareco

Natural monument and sacred place of the Tarahumara Indians. Surrounded by pine forests, the long U-shaped lake is a place of regular gathering of Aboriginal people. In the vicinity of Arareko built traditional houses-caves, which still live representatives of the Tarahumara tribe.

The lake is quite high in the mountains, 14 kilometers from the small town of Creel in northern Mexico. Near it is the Valley of the Monks, as well as the valley of the Frogs and Mushrooms, which are considered natural works of art.

In the immediate vicinity of the lake is the chapel of the Franciscan mission, founded in the XVI century.
