I continue with my trip through the Magical Town of Huauchinango, getting to know the tourist attractions of this wonderful corner of Puebla, in past videos we toured the Don Primo coffee plantation living the experience of high altitude coffee, then I showed you the place where I stayed for a night that It was the Daarlu country hotel and from there I continued to visit the impressive La Morena waterfall, which if you saw the video you will know that it is an ecological park with a circuit or path that takes you through different waterfalls, to the main one, now as the fourth video I want you to accompany you to discover the Necaxa Dam, which although it is between two municipalities like Juan Galindo, is part of the tourist catalog of the Pueblo Mágico, here we will learn a little about the history of the dam as well as a tour to see birds, let's get to know the Necaxa Dam.
From the day of my arrival, taking advantage of this rich climate that this region of Puebla has, I traveled from Huauchinango to the neighboring municipality of Juan Galindo through immense fog.
Although the equipment was officially founded in 1923 in Mexico City, by the Scottish engineer William Frasser, it was the product of the merger of the local equipment of Luz y Fuerza and Tranvías, which is why it retained the name of the place where it all originated, Necaxa, which some versions tell us means Place of Noise in the water and that, as we could see in the last video about the Morena waterfall and the Necaxa River Hydrographic Basin protected area, this region of Puebla was privileged to have water. That is why they created the hydroelectric dam, which would bring many people to come and live here.
Patoltecoya is a small community that belongs to the municipality of Huauchinango, located next to the Mexico - Tuxpan highway, it will take you less than 3 hours to get here from the center of the country's capital and it is the place where bird watching or bird tourism, since this dam is also part of the natural resource protection area of the Necaxa River Hydrographic Basin.
This dam is on the national list of wetlands of international importance and is a RAMSAR site, which is a global program that seeks to promote and conserve the world's wetlands for the habitat of birds, some of them migratory that come here looking for a shelter to feed and rest.
Different types of ducks, herons, cormorants and the most impressive ones that we will see will be the eagles such as the black one, the sea eagle and falcons.
