GO INTO AN EXCITING RAFT RIDE ride through the Fuerte River, watch the birds and enjoy pure nature!

TAKE THE COLONIAL WALK TOUR for historical delight. Visit the old church, the municipal palace, the plaza and various old mansions. Ask for the booklet with the walking tour map guide at the frontdesk.

RIDE TO THE TEHUECO (Blue Sky) Mayo Indian Mission, about 9 miles or 1 hour away. It is the center for Mayo religious fiestas. Tehueco was founded in 1648 and the mission church was built in 1650. The present structure — next to the 1650 ruins — was built in 1811. You can also visit the ancient 'Mayo Indian' village of Capomos.

TAKE A TAXI or van ride — 9 miles — to see the Nahuatl Petroglyphs, up to 1500 years old. Or you may cross the river by boat and hike 1 mile to the petroglyphs and return and visit Bird Island on the same trip. [3 hrs]

WHITE-WINGED DOVE and Queil hunting are offered in various areas. You may ride horseback along El Fuerte River or go kayaking.

SURROUNDED by dense tropical deciduous forest — and only 50 miles away fron the Sea of Cortez — this area abounds with wildlife and is a great place for birding.
