One of the most vibrantly colorful and fanciful small churches in Mexico. A must for shutterbugs.
The town's main square is rather plain, lacking shade trees and with a bland character that cries out for street vendors to give it some local interest. Good meeting point or good for an evening stroll.
The Malecon is a pleasant downtown area where you can walk along the riverfront, pose for selfies in front of the town's letters, or stop to admire their mural. Boats can be hired for a sightseeing ride on the river.

Small Maya site with several pyramids and other well-restored structures. Climbing the pyramids is still allowed at this site. It's a beautifully maintained site in a natural setting with colonies of monkeys living in the trees around it. The site museum has a number of artifacts recovered from the site. Bring water, snacks, hat, and mosquito repellent because there's no store nearby.
