What to visit in Durango?

1. Durango

The city of Durango could well be a museum, you will see it when you discover its true architectural gems in its Plaza de Armas, its temples and its quarry buildings. A detail that amazes many is that the Civil Pantheon is also a Museum of Funeral Art, which you can enter to admire its beautiful Chapel of Rest and monuments.

2. El Salto

To access El Salto, the easiest way is starting from Victoria de Durango, taking the highway that leads to Mazatlán. A slightly winding road that leaves behind the semi-desert of the state capital and capriciously blends into the pine forests, rises up and makes you feel like you're heading for heaven.
