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.

River of Miracles Waterfall
Located on the northwest side of town on the Carratera a Plan Grande, a small parking area is available. You walk about 5 minutes down a trail to get to the falls and a cool suspended cable bridge that looks like something out of an Indiana Jones movie. Along the way you'll see some old mine entrances. The falls are fairly small (drops about 15 meters) and are most impressive during the rainy season (June-July).
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.
