Here's an exceptional excursion to the colonial villages of Malpica, Concordia, and Copala, located at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains. Each of these Mexican villages has its own appeal.

While in Malpica, you'll see locals making pottery, furniture, and colorful floor tiles by hand, and you'll get to see bread being made in a rustic kiln. Concordia offers a great opportunity to see how local artisans hand-craft beautiful furniture, pottery, and roof tiles. Concordia is home to the San Sebastian temple, built in 1608 with beautiful arches.

The highlight of the Colonial Tour is Copala, an ancient gold mining town with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1565. Stroll down cobblestone streets and get to know some of Copala's 600 friendly residents. Copala is a colorful town filled with bougainvillea, and roofs with traditional red tiles. One of the main attractions in Copala is the San Jose church. The original San Jose church dates back to the 1700s, though a newer building was constructed in 1932, in the location of the local mission.
