Lerma

Acambaro is also on the central table-land on the banks of the Lerma. The Mex. Nat. R.R. follows in a general way up the course of this the largest of Mexican rivers and crosses its source, - Lake Lerma - just east of Toluca.

For hours before we reach the valley of Toluca wherein lies this lake we rise through a series of open, rolling hills beautifully green, dotted with hacienda buildings and broken by numerous square areas of corn newly started or just planted. To the west and ahead of us rise by gradual elevations the mts. forming the western border of the central table-land.
