Stay in well-lit, populated areas at night and avoid isolated outskirts after dark. Be discreet with valuables; petty theft can occur at events and busier markets.
Hidden Gems
Visit the serene Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores and explore the surrounding hills for panoramic views. Don't miss locally made sweets from small bakeries and the lesser-known La Presa de Jilotlán lake.
