"Pueblo de los guerreros" in Nahuatl

The municipality of Niquinohomo was declared Historic Patrimony of the Nation on August 22, 2002.

The most interesting of this population that can serve tourists as a point of passage or place of supply, is the parish church of Santa Ana, located adjacent to the Central Park. This was built in 1689 and has very particular characteristics, since it is longer than the Cathedral itself. Also its altarpiece is exquisite and of international renown. It is worth watching.

In the village, which reaches the main road, you can find several food points and some lodging. Although recently new experiences of agrotourism in the area are being produced that are worth to know.
