The museum showcases the unusual figurines made by artist Socorro Pozos Soto. The figurines are made of corn husks and are called Totomoxtle and they tell the story (make that plural because Xico's much-storied past comes to life through the figures and the scenes they are set in). One-of-a-kind!

St Mary Magdelaine Church
Historic colonial era church established in 1670, it is the oldest church in Xico. The church features neo-classical and baroque architecture with relatively restrained exterior ornamentation but an opulent interior featuring vaulted ceilings and domes with intricate tilework and gilded trim. The church is noted for its sculptures including several of the Virgin Mary and a centerpiece figure of Christ behind the main altar with a reposed figure of Mary Magdalene by his side. The Museo de Vestidos is in the church courtyard and should not be missed.
Museum of the Dancers of Xico
Xico has a long history of indigenous dance and these dances adapted to Spanish repression in the colonial era, morphing into a unique local cultural tradition. The museum celebrates the tradition of folkloric dance with displays of hand-carved ceremonial masks and elaborate costumes worn by the dancers.
Cascada de la Monja
Smaller but still impressive waterfall. Dangerous waters, please don't bathe here.
