Sierra de Órganos & Nombre de Dios Day Trip

You'll be picked up from your hotel in Durango to visit the Sierra de Órganos National Park, located in the Sierra Madre Occidental, known for its distinctive magmatic rock formations. Explore these extraordinary monoliths and identify their unique shapes.

Continue through forests populated with oak, cedar, prickly pear and cactus trees, where you may spot hares, badgers, and white-tailed deer. Then, proceed to our next destination.

The next stop is the Pueblo Mágico (Magic Town) of Nombre de Dios, recognized as the first location where Franciscans held a mass. Visit the ex-convent of San Francisco, a 16th-century structure featuring ornate façade, Ionic columns, and palm details. Following this, enjoy local mezcal at El Malpaís mezcalería, served with bread and cheese.

Explore part of the Silver Route, known as the Royal Road of Interior Land, an ancient trading route stretching nearly 1,600 miles (2,560 kilometres), now a World Heritage Site. Nearby is El Cuevón, a site for viewing golden eagles and a filming location for the movie Caveman. The trip concludes with your return to the hotel in Durango after 6 hours.
