Discover Mexico's countryside in this visit to quiet, picturesque Copala, a 419-year-old storybook village in the foothills of the Sierra Madre. You will also visit the village of Concordia, famous for hand-carved furniture and pottery.
The Spanish discovered Copala in 1565 and worked its mines in their early days of conquest. Copala is an old mining town at an elevation over 2,000 feet. It meets most tourists' expectations of what a typical colonial Mexican village would look like. Concordia was founded in 1571 and is surrounded by orchards and coconut, mango, and banana plantations. It is a center for the cottage industries of ceramic tile, pottery, and hand-carved furniture. The town also has an interesting zocalo (main plaza), and its San Sebastian Baroque-style church, built in the 1640s, is the oldest of its kind in Sinaloa.
