Pueblos Mágicos

There are well over a hundred Pueblos Mágicos in Mexico, and at least one can be found in every state. Collectively, these are towns and villages that have in some way preserved their local traditions, culture, ethnic customs or unique cuisines. The idea to curate and promote these pueblos was created by the Mexican department of tourism in 2001. Selected locations are often small, rural towns, where visitors can experience indigenous craftsmanship or spectacular natural landscapes. While you've likely heard of a few, the majority of these towns are new to tourism and are greatly helped by your visit.
