Los Aposentos is a small forested park area with a number of springs and two small lakes. It is located a few kilometers south of the city of Chimaltenango in Guatemala. It was formerly known as "Finca la Alameda" and renamed to Los Aposentos in 1929.[1]

An area of 0.15 km2, including the lakes was declared a national park in 1955.[2]
