Living museum to the artistry and work that lies behind the simple garment known as the rebozo. It's a shawl that's hand woven and can be solid colors or patterns or textures, depending on the skill of the artisan. The museum is open to visitors who can watch classes underway teaching people how to make quality rebozos. Learn how the materials are selected and how the process is varied to produce different affects. Hundreds of rebozos are on display.
Church of Our Lady of the Assumption
Oldest colonial era church in town, built by the Franciscans in 1604. The church includes a number of significant artworks including mural panels that actually pre-date the church and an image of the Virgen of Guadalupe carved from a tree trunk by sculptor Eduardo Vega. The nave is elaborately decorated with intricate patterns painted on the walls and murals painted on the vaulted ceilings.
City plaza with lots of shade trees, manicured topiary gardens, clean walkways, and an impressive bicentennial clock tower decorated in colors and patterns of rebozos. There are many shops and cafes nearby.
Beautiful narrow waterfall dropping straight down over a sheer cliff wall into the bright blue waters of a small pond where you can swim. The waterfall is about a 10-15 minute hike from the Señor del Amparo Chapel, just a few minutes outside town on a paved road. There are no facilities here, the trail is unimproved and unmarked, and is rarely visited by locals.
