Las Piedrotas

Neoclassical church with an oversized bell tower that dwarfs the main body of the church. The building's brilliant white exterior makes it easy to spot from anywhere in the downtown area (centro). The church's interior is bright and colorful with gray granite columns, a huge dome, stained glass windows, and a series of bright murals depicting biblical scenes.

Small sculpture park with several works of contemporary art. Open space for kids to play.

Pleasant plaza area with waterfountain and a wall with relief scultpures that tell the historic Otomi tale of the place. The story is that 4 local women were hanging around the town well, gossiping and conspiring amongst themselves. An Otomi priest chastised the women, telling them they should stop spreading vicious rumors and lies. The women laughed at him and the shaman took water from the well and when he sprinkled it on the women, they turned into a pile of snakes, as immortalized in stone on the relief sculptures of the fountain.

Hilltop with a para-gliding academy (parapente). Learn to strap on a parachute and jump off the top of a mountain, riding the air currents before finally steering towards a gentle landing in the valley below.
