    Los humedales, son el organo que regula el flujo de agua que se impregna en la montaña, son el filtro natural del agua y se encargan de generar un proceso que mineraliza y carga el agua de vida con microorganismos. Son un elemento fundamental en la montaña pues permiten que el agua sea retenida regulando el ciclo de agua.
