Here the horizon is low, green, and crossed by waterways, very different from the elevated profile of Janitzio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-path-to-node=\"5\">This place has a different kind of magic: it feeds not only from the lake, but from its own <b>crystal clear water springs<\/b>.
