What Makes It Magical
The smell of guava seems to permeate the town of Calvillo. From the time you set off on a stroll downtown, you will feel the charm of its tree-lined park and the solemn presence of the massive Parroquia del Señor del Salitre church. As you roam, you will be enchanted by its legends, the flavor of its cheeses, the shapely candles, and the delicate embroidery work. Nature generously bestowed the area with streams, waterfalls, and rugged natural countryside that make you want to take a walk and soak up the clean, fresh air. After a restorative night tucked away in a cabin, you will awake with a new understanding of Calvillo’s alluring charm.
