Local children often guide tourists to find whimsical shapes in their bark, such as "the deer's head", "the elephant" or "the lion".The "Son" of the Tule: In the same square is a second, much younger sabino, affectionately named the son or grandson of the main tree, who is following in his giant footsteps.Temple of Santa Maria de la Asunción : A beautiful 17th century colonial church that contrasts perfectly with the background of the central garden, decorated with a characteristic white color and celestial details.
