Parroquia de San Pedro

The town's plaza principal is a great place for hanging out, relaxing on a park bench, and doing some serious people watching. It's also the place you'll find some of the town's most iconic sights for your Instagram photos, like the huge clock of flowers (made by the town's famous clock company). There's also a tourist information booth if you want some local tips or more ideas for things to do.

Clock company established in 1921 by Alberto Olvera Hernandez. The company makes only "monumental" clocks, such as those on government buildings, railway stations and church clock towers. The company built the large flower clock in the town square and thousands of highly visible big clocks throughout Mexico and the world. They also repair historic clocks, including those built in Germany and France. The factory is open for public tours and the upper level of the factory includes a clock museum, open to the public free of charge.

There is a series of mosaic murals downtown created by contemporary artists using colored glass inlays. These are like the murals around the Panteon, but different in that they're newer, they reflect contemporary themes (not religious scenes), a few may still be works in progress, and they aren't just on walls: some cover benches, or integrate with the architecture of a building. You walk down an alley to see most of them, and sometimes have to jog over a block or so to pick up the trail, but locals will help point you in the right direction... just ask, "Murales?" and they'll point.

The cemetery is somber and filled with dozens of impressive monuments and mausoleums, it's especially spooky early in the morning when fog makes it look like the setting of a horror movie. The star of the Panteon is the wide variety of amazing murals that fill all of its walls for blocks. It's bright, colorful and very inviting, making it a place that locals are just dying to get into.

Wide canyon with a deep, forested valley. Very scenic and an enormously popular place for sightseers and nature lovers. There are some good viewpoints if you walk along Paseo de la Barranca, but most tourists flock to the glass overlook (Puente Cristal Mirador) near the Panteon, though the glass floor of the observation deck gives some people vertigo. You can hike into the canyon, there are some areas for rapelling and camping. A zip-line route over the canyon provides the biggest thrills in town, and you can even do it at night.
