In the heart of the Trinidad Sierra, on the road between the East Cape and Los Cabos, there are several charming villages and hamlets whose inhabitants are artisan-farmers who devote themselves to handcraft production and fruit farming.
In the town of Santiago is the Mission of Santiago de Los Coras, founded in 1721. The lovely mission building has been rebuilt with several modifications to the original structure. Another attractive place to visit is the zoo and the museum containing enormous fossils.
There is nothing better than a visit to San Bartolo to enjoy traditional guava, pitahaya and mango sweets, turnovers and fruit preserves.
For shopping, make a stop at Miraflores, where you will find reasonably-priced, hand-made leather items. Every July, the town holds the annual “Pitahaya” fair which draws regional craftspeople. The main attraction of the fair is the chance to purchase a variety of items made from this fruit.
