Pueblo Nuevo as the Broader Destination
When searching for La Pirámide, the precise location is helpful: the rock face near Las Adjuntas is associated with the climbing described above. Parque La Pirámide, by contrast, is located in ChavarrĂa Viejo, within the broader destination of Pueblo Nuevo. This nature and adventure park offers hiking trails, zip lines, a via ferrata, and climbing opportunities.
Pueblo Nuevo also offers other nature and activity-related attractions. Parque Natural Mexiquillo brings together forests, rock formations, a waterfall, tunnels, cabins, and mountain scenery. At JardĂn de Piedras, large rock formations resemble natural sculptures; some are more than 8 meters tall. Old railway tunnels, built for an unfinished rail line, are now part of an adventure route that can be explored on foot, by bicycle, or on guided tours. Pueblo Nuevo is also one of the Mexican municipalities with the highest rate of bird endemism, adding an ecological perspective to the area's natural attractions.
Puentecillas is an ecotourism center in the Sierra of Pueblo Nuevo, with a lake, cabins, viewpoints, hiking trails, and wooded landscapes. To get there, take the El Salto–Pueblo Nuevo road to kilometer 16, then continue for about 5 kilometers on an unpaved road. As road conditions can change, check the route before setting out.
Culture and gastronomy are also part of the broader destination of Pueblo Nuevo: furniture made from Manzanillo roots is among its traditional crafts, while pulque made from corn fermented in the sun is part of its traditional cuisine. Historic landmarks include Templo parroquial La PusĂsima ConcepciĂłn (San Francisco de AsĂs) and Catedral de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. At Cascada Mil Diez in Ejido Mil Diez, near El Salto, there are cabins and outdoor areas for walking, relaxing, taking photos, and enjoying activities in nature; check availability for your visit.
