The hacienda was built to house mining operations for precious metals. The building has been restored as a combination hotel and museum containing historic documents and artifacts from the mining era. The hotel preserves historic traditions and even uses oil lamps rather than electric lighting.

Hiking area with spectacular overlooks providing views of the town and adjacent forests. The trail is just over 5 km and will take about an hour to walk. Bring water. Good shoes and a walking stick are recommended.
San Sebastian Church
The town's main church is an unpretentious neoclassic structure built by the Franciscans in the 18th century. Although the exterior is rather plain, the interior is an impressive baroque style with an arched vaulted nave, renovated in 1897. A small museum behind the church preserves a number of antique objects from the parish's storied past.
Follow the walking and you'll eventually reach the old mine, which is basically a dark hole in the side of the mountain. This was one of the mines that produced gold for the Hacienda Jalisco during colonial times. It's not a developed tourist site, and there are no tours or gift shop. If you are bold and have a flashlight, there's nothing stopping you from going in by yourself (other than common sense).
