San Sebastian del Oeste
San Sebastián del Oeste takes its visitors to the boom of the mining time of colonial times. This magical town distinguishes itself for keeping intact the looks of its former haciendas and its viceroyal architecture, reflecting its importance as a former center for the extraction of gold and silver. One of its main attractions is hiking the Cerro de la Bufa, which offers panoramic views of the Sierra Madre Occidental. It’s the perfect place for historical tourism, which can be complemented by horseback riding and tours of the multiple ranches that are dedicated to coffee farming.
