The San Juan Bautista Church anchors the community with its 18th-century design and carved stone details. It shows how faith and craftsmanship have shaped daily life here for centuries.
The church and town center are easy to explore on foot, with main sites close to one another. Plan your visit for cooler mornings or late afternoons, as heat intensifies during midday hours.
In the 1940s, the place earned recognition as Mexico's center for broom and brush manufacturing. This industrial heritage remains a defining part of the local economy and identity.
