Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is very much worth a visit. Also save time for shopping in the market. No pushy sales. Also some very nice shops offering wood craft items at exceptional prices. Sweet little town.

This Museum is not to be missed if you are anywhere in the region. It has cultural artifacts, antique art, modern local art, and the building itself is amazing. The restoration was well done and preserved as much of the original building as possible. To find this place is a little tricky. Just West of the main street in this small town is a small plaza full of vendors (at least when I went). On the West side of the Plaza, go through the archway into a large church yard with old olive trees. the entrance is diagonally across the yard.

This is one of the oldest sites built by the Spanish after the Mexican conquest. You can see how they used the stones of the Purepecha ceremonial center and other elements from their culture in order to help the transition to the Catholicism. There are many buildings in the area and one is older than the next one. There’s even an open altar were they used to have open air ceremonies. Also, one of the oldest baptismal ponds in Mexico. Very interesting!

There is not a lot of explanation in English, but the exhibits are well done. Especially the replica of an old kitchen. You have to make a real effort to go to this place - a small village in the middle of nowhere. Peaceful. Lots of good crafts available.

Several churches and gardens form a complex with magnifiscent trees and old constructions. Every Sunday they have the crown of Christ and bless the belivers in the Soledad church.

There is some information in English in the museum which is an added bonus. A really interesting place to walk around. I suggest a bit of Wikipedia reading before the visit to get the most out of it. The two churches in the complex are also worth visiting, one has an articulated Jesus. Visiting this, the market and the temple ruins is a great day out.

Dated back to 1531, the Franciscan convent is now a building located next door to the local church. Renovated a few years ago is open to visitors as a local museum of art & history that shows the volcanic rocks with petroglifs on the front walls. Many of the old paintings and murals can be seen inside the museum next to the new exhibition of art by the local craftsmen. After you see this construction, don´t miss the picture of the olives trees all around the courtyard, they supposed to be planted here by the Franciscan monks 1530´s, and supposed to be the first olives trees on America!

We had two children tell us the story of the construction and background to this building and its surrounding grounds. Extremely interesting. The Jesuit priest who founded the church was a very progressive individual who respected and sought to care for the earthly needs of the people. Quite a contrast to the exploitative Spanish. The grounds are lovely with olive trees many hundreds of years old!

This is an area with less known history and it is well worth becoming acquainted with, History and present day too, with the market located right in front in the courtyard.
