One of Mexico's oldest and most natural national parks lies at the town's front doorway. Forested mountains provide an outdoor playground for rock climbers, hikers, mountain bikers, and nature lovers. If you're into rock climbing and rappelling, head to the Las Ventanas area of the park. If you're into fishing, boating, and swimming, head to Presa el Cedral.
Church of the Immaculate Conception
Every town in Mexico has at least one spectacular colonial era church, and the main church in Mineral del Chico is Purisima Concepcion, located in the center of town next to the main plaza. It's a beautiful church with an interior of understated elegant simplicity.
Small mine that offers guided tours. In town.
Historic silver mine founded in 1530, the mine operated for more than 400 years. Guided tours last 40 minutes and will take you down 400 meters into bowels of the mountain. In town.
Very cool mine tour that's ideal for adventurous travelers in good physical condition. Not a good choice for frail individuals or the claustrophobic. You can rappel down the mine's vent shaft.
40-minute guided tour into the mine with hardhat and flashlights. Wear good shoes and be prepared for possible water running through the shafts.
Guided tour that takes you along a 1.4 km walking route into the mines. Hardhat is provided but lights are not, so you may want to bring a small flashlight. Wear good shoes and a jacket since it's always cool in the mine. Oddly, they do allow you to bring a dog on the tour.
