Tourist Attractions & Monuments Mexico

To reach the Playitas, you have to drive more than 14 km on a calcium sulfate road, where the blinding light becomes a travel companion. The atmosphere is magical, between cactus in bloom and streams in which families of wild horses and metallic blue or red dragonflies come to quench their thirst. We finally arrive on a six-hectare lagoon of crystalline green water, a small sea with white sandy beaches... The site reopened in 2015 after ten years of closure to mitigate the damage caused by tourism.

In a humid coniferous forest, these caves were discovered in 1947. The galleries do several kilometres, but the public only has access to the illuminated and built part of a footbridge, which is about 800 metres, to which one can add 300 metres of visit to a aménagée part. Outside the caves, there are many small restaurants, large slides for the small, a Tyrolean and many horses. Ideal for a day with children.

What was only a cenote planted in the middle of nature until 2015 is a kind of activity park that includes a tyrolean that allows for water, walking, bicycle or quad.

The park cable car is in itself impressive: it is the third longest in the world. At half-way, perched at 450 metres in a vacuum, it offers spectacular views at 360 degrees. Get off at the Estación B, where you can take a mount or walk to the Tarahumara community of Bacajípare. For the most adventurous, don't miss the Tyrolean raids or the route via ferrata. Mountain BIKING also available.

It is a very pretty lake with crystal clear waters, surrounded by conifers and located on the edge of the raramuri community of San Ignacio. Those who wish to camp there or rent cabins must book directly at the Arareko cooperative's offices in Creel. Possibility to organize hiking or horseback riding with local guides. In winter, the temperature can drop well below freezing. Most day trips from Creel stop there for a few minutes before continuing to Cusarare.

San José has a few beaches ideal for surfing, including Costa Azul, which hosts international competition in summer. The Playa Palmilla, a little further south, is more suitable for family visits. The beaches Nuevo Sol and California are ideal for soaking up but paying attention to courrants. As elsewhere, find out about bathing conditions. For adventurers, you will find pristine places along the road along the coast along the coast towards Cabo Pulmo. 

It is a nature reserve of 50 acres (including 6 open to the public), which houses endemic species of cactus of the peninsula. Small explanatory panels along the promenade: for naturalists and passionate.

The area is rather large and has two distinct aquatic areas: one is formed by the natural river with translucent waters that flows through the vegetation, the other by a set of pools ideal for children. The river has been preserved in its natural state, you can swim for a few kilometres, and you can also rest on discreetly arranged areas. Activities: kayaking, inflatable boat, snorkeling, diving, fishing, horseback riding. Swimming pools and restaurants. Prefer a visit during the week.
