The landscape of identity: Quinta Eréndira (CREFAL)

The hidden treasure on the shores of the lake.

The former vacation home of General Lázaro Cárdenas (now CREFAL) houses murals little known to tourists, painted by Roberto Cueva del Río and Ricardo Bárcenas.

The Experience: Entering here is like stepping back into the idealism of the 1930s. The murals don't depict battles, but geography: stylized maps, lush flora, and the vision of a country that invested in education. It's art that breathes fresh air.

The Secret: Observe how art blends with architecture. The lamps and frames are designed to resemble local lacquer and wood crafts. 📍 Location: Av. Lázaro Cárdenas s/n. (Note: Access subject to the institution's hours).

What does this mean? It is very likely that you will not be able to enter the Lucas Ortiz Library or the gardens of Quinta Eréndira.
