El Quelite Rural Tour
Visit one of the most picturesque villages in all of Mexico, where you can relax and learn about Mexico's rural heritage.
Just 30 minutes from the port of Mazatlan, the picturesque village of El Quelite is famous for its beautiful red roof tile houses, narrow cobblestone streets, colorful houses, and tropical flowers. Take the El Quelite Rural Tour and put yourself into this picture. En route, you will stop at the Quedamo village and visit a quail farm, a cheese factory, and ornamental fish tanks, before arriving at El Quelite. The town is so scenic and quaint, it inspired Francisco Terriquez to write the famous Mexican folk song, "Que Bonito es El Quelite" ("How Beautiful is El Quelite"). Stroll through the town's cobblestone streets and meet the friendly locals. Walk on narrow paving stone streets towards Lady of Guadalupe's church and a rustic bakery. Purchase samples of pastry and fresh cheese from a very old bakery. Shop for crafts hand-made by local artisans. You may even see locals play the pre-hispanic game called "the Ulama," a tradition that has been preserved through the generations. See the beautiful and unrivaled town of El Quelite on this scenic tour from Mazatlan.
