Geography
Like most of the
Yucatan Peninsula
, Lázaro Cárdenas is entirely flat with a gentle slope towards the sea, so from west to east.
Like the rest of the peninsula's surface, the land has a limestone base that does not allow the formation of surface water flows such as rivers and streams, the water instead forms flows in underground rivers that sometimes rise to the surface in the cenotes. Lakes and cenotes are the major bodies of water in the municipality.
