Things to Do  

Exploring the City Center

Exploring the City Center, Chihuahua

 gdilieto Says:  Main Chihuahua's sights are clustered in the City Center scattered in a few-block area. With all due respect, there isn't much to be impressed with about the tourist sites and the same city center - an unbalanced blend of colonial buildings, modern constructions, small... 

Parque Central El Palomar

Parque Central El Palomar, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  This is a relatively new park that was built on an area that was cleared and the people moved to newer neighborhoods. Apparently this had been a high crime area that was very hard to control and moving the families and tearing down the "slum" solved the problem. There is a... 

Visit Pancho Villa's Home - Quinta Luz Museum

Visit Pancho Villa's Home - Quinta Luz Museum, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  General Francisco "Pancho" Villa is the most famous hero of the Revolution of 1910. He was quite the ladies man and married several times (one rumor is 23 times!) and never with the aid of a divorce. He was assassinated in 1923 and several of his wives claimed his estate.... 

Visit the Cathedral

Visit the Cathedral, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  The Cathedral of Chihuahua took about 100 years to build with construction being an on/off affair depending on how much money was available and local hostilities. The quality of the work is truly outstanding. There are Murano glass chandeliers in the cathedral and some of... 

Visit a park and people watch

Visit a park and people watch, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  There are some very pretty parks/plazas in the old town, especially in front of the cathedral and the Governor's Palace. There are street vendors selling hot corn on the cob and cups of corn kernels as well as many family groups sitting around watching the kids feed the... 

Visit the Governor's Palace

Visit the Governor's Palace, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  The Governor's Palace is a beautiful building to which an additional story has been added - and done quite well because it is very hard to tell that this major of a modification has been made. There are gorgeous murals painted on the walls facing the courtyard, similar to...

Local Customs  

Displaying Ladies Denims

Displaying Ladies Denims, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  We got a kick out of how the vendors would display ladies denim pants - they were on these mannequins where some were wearing "invisible" high heeled shoes. The denims were impossibly tight. We kept seeing this type of display and just found it funny. Decorated rear pockets... 

Eating Cactus

Eating Cactus, Chihuahua

 kathymof Says:  A traditional food is Nopalitos - the pads of Prickly Pear Cactus (Opuntia sp.) that are prepared by removing the spines and then steaming. They are actually quite good and are probably available in a can or jar in the Mexican food section of your grocery store - and maybe...
