Sierra de Órganos & Nombre de Dios Day Trip

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Durango and head for the Sierra de Órganos National Park. When we arrive, you'll see its distinctive magmatic rock formations. Take a closer look and see if you can make out any figures in these monoliths.

We'll go through forests of oak, cedar, prickly pear and cactus trees among which hares, badgers, and white-tailed deer hide. We'll then set off for our next destination.

Our next stop is the Pueblo Mágico of Nombre de Dios, the first place where Franciscans held a mass. We'll visit the ex-convent of San Francisco, a 16th-century religious building with an ornate façade. Afterwards, we'll head into the El Malpaís mezcalería to drink local mezcal accompanied by bread and cheese.

We'll visit part of the Silver Route, or the Royal Road of Interior Land, an ancient trading route stretching for almost 1,600 miles (2,560 kilometres), declared a World Heritage Site. Close by, we'll see the natural site of El Cuevón, where we may also glimpse golden eagles.

Our day trip will end upon our arrival back at your hotel in Durango 6 hours later.
