Zacatecas Vacation Guides & Tourism
627km (392 miles) NW of Mexico City; 198km (124 miles)
NW of San Luis Potosí; 322km (201 miles) NE of
Guadalajara; 298km (186 miles) SE of Durango
Zacatecas, like Guanajuato, owes its beauty to the
wealth of silver extracted from its mines. The
farthest flung of the silver cities, it is a jewel in
the rough. High over the town center looms a steep
mountain that's accessible by cable car.

*La Quemada
http://www.planetware.com/zacatecas/la-quemada-mex-zac-qmd.htm

http://www.mexicofile.com/southofzacatecas.htm

Description: The pre-Columbian archaeological site of
La Quemada or Chicomóztoc (Náhuatl: "seven caves") is
situated about 53km/33mi south of Zacatecas on the MEX
54. This cult centre, which stretches across a large
hill, probably had its beginnings as long ago as the
Early Classic period. It is highly doubtful, however,
whether it is identical with the legendary place of
Chicomóztoc from which, according to the saga, the
seven Nahua tribes are supposed to have set off on
their migration to the south. What is certain is that
La Quemada, together with Chalchihuites and other
places in Zacatecas and Durango, lies in an area which
represented the northern boundary of Meso-American
civilisation.

Natural Attractions
One of the natural attractions of Colotlán is a
natural canyon known as "La Barranca" located about 1
kilometer east of El Refugio, in the south east part
of the municipality. This canyon runs for aproximately
5 kilometers and is the exit of the basin of
aproximately 100 square kilometers that was formed in
the highlands in the neighbouring state of Zacatecas
between the Sierra de Morones and the "Cerro
Chichimeco" (Chichimeco mountain, approximately 2,600
meters above sea level). The canyon is also the origin
of the "Chichoca" River, that runs east-west and that
joins the Colotlán River before joining the Bolaños
River, one of the most important afluents, running
north-south, of the Lerma-Santiago (Lerma River)
river.

Much easier to interpret than La Quemada is the
undiscovered colonial gem of Jerez, about 50
kilometers away by road. Incredibly, most guidebooks
give it no more than a passing mention, if it is even
included at all!
