Description
El QUELITE is located 25 miles northeast of Mazatlan, on the banks of the river that bears its name. On our way down, we will stop at EL QUEMADO village; here, we will visit a quail farm and a cheese factory. The colorful village of EL QUELITE was the scene of major historical events during the Mexican Revolution. During those years, several rebel groups were formed, and the most recognized was “Los Laureanos,” whose members were the scourge of the rich people of the region, stealing the gold that was carried through the roads in stagecoaches, proceeding from the Sierra Madre mountains towards the coast.
Nowadays, El Quelite has fantastic landscapes with a rural atmosphere. Cute houses with red tile roofs covered by colorful bougainvilleas will amaze your eyes. As part of the tour, we will take a stroll on narrow paving stone streets towards Lady of Guadalupe’s church and a rustic bakery. Something interesting that you should know about this town is that some of their natives still preserve the tradition of playing a pre-Hispanic game called “The Ulama.” Optional lunch will be served at the most famous Mexican restaurant in the state of Sinaloa, “El Meson de los Laureanos,” with lots of traditional dishes.
