3) Many kind of attractions

The Aviary, the Butterfly Park, some archaeological sites, a striking cemetery and the Chapel of Guadalupe, with a Virgin carved from a wooden log. Among the shows we highlight the flyers of Papantía, who throw themselves into the void, on their backs, tied with a rope from a rotating pole several meters high. The México Espectacular show is the best ending to the visit.
