What places to visit in Tepic?

San Juan Hill

San Juan Hill is located west of the city of Tepic, and is part of the mountain range of the same name. It is one of the favorite places for Tepicenses and those who visit the city to exercise in contact with nature. The main activity to do in the area is hiking. The best-known trail begins in a parking lot on the banks of the Highway Libramiento, rising to 1,500 meters in the area known as "La Batea", which many consider to be the final destination.

Contemporary Art Center

The museum exhibits permanent collections of the cultural heritage of the State of Nayarit. Various modern paintings, sculptures and photographs are displayed in its six rooms. It has two teaching areas or workshops, where painting, drawing and photography courses are taught, the Pinacoteca del Estado and the Plastica Nayarita workshop. The Aguirre House and the former Palacio Hotel are intended as spaces for training, research and dissemination of culture. Casa Aguirre is considered a historical monument because it was built at the end of the 19th century.

Metropolitan Cathedral

The first building was built around 1750. Different from the one we know today, since it was smaller. At the beginning of the 19th century, it was decided to build another larger and larger one. The works were completed in 1885. The temple was designated as a cathedral by Pope Leo XIII, on June 23, 1891, with Ignacio Díaz y Macedo being its first bishop. The current façade was made by Gabriel Luna y Rodríguez, who had resumed the previous works but in a neo-Gothic style, different from the neoclassical taste that prevailed at the time. The last tower was completed in 1896.

Parque la Loma

It is an extensive area with abundant vegetation, mainly pines, eucalyptus and numerous gardens, considered the most important and traditional park in the state. Among its facilities we can mention sports fields, an Olympic pool, amusement rides, a soda fountain, open-air theaters, a charro canvas, monuments to famous people and a library, some of which are in poor condition due to lack of maintenance and some of which are in use. Amado Nervo Open Air Theater and a small semicircular mural with scenes about the Mexican Revolution.
