Santa Maria del Oro is a crater lake located about 2 hours from Guadalajara. On our way back from Chacala we stopped here for a dip in the laguna and ate some seafood before heading home. It's very peaceful and clean with many families having picnics on the water's edge. Folks are not encouraged to swim too far out since the water runs pretty far deep. By that I mean they haven't been able to find the crater's floor. At least that's what all the locals say.....
To be safe we did stay on the water's edge, just like everyone else. None of us are Olympic style swimmer's so we took it easy and soaked our bones in the mineral rich water. There is a pretty steep drop off when you enter the lake. You only have to be about 4 feet from the edge to lose your standing pose. We didn't go out farther then that. All very pretty and all very nice!
