Las Perlas del Conchos
Towns and small cities with a rich tradition in agriculture, livestock, and fruit cultivation thrive in this area. The waters of the Conchos River bring life to the Chihuahuan Desert region. Delicias is notable for its Museum of Paleontology, while Camargo and Jiménez are renowned for their expansive walnut groves.
Some History
In 1987 the town of Santa Rosalía was founded, which later became Camargo, at the confluence of the Conchos and Floridos rivers.

Local culture
Food
In the Las Vírgenes dams, in La Boquilla or in Lago Colina around Delicias and Camargo, the restaurants and snack bars specialize in fried fish, accompanied by rice, beans and the most delicious sauces.
Tradition and customs
There is something magical about this oasis, as exponents of various branches of the arts have come out from here to the world: from the city of Camargo came singers, actors, filmmakers and two giants of the visual arts, David Alfaro Siqueiros and the sculptor Enrique Carbajal, known as Sebastián.
Clothing
It is much more common to see men wearing cowboy clothing, especially those who work in the fields. Cowboy clothing is also appreciated by women. Boots and belts will only be noticed in brighter colors.
Religion
In Meoqui, Delicias, Camargo, Jiménez and even in the smallest town in the Conchos region, in addition to the patron saint festivities, the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe is celebrated. This celebration allows people to get away from the routine of work and live in a healthy and family-friendly environment.
