These cliff houses are now a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to their anthropological and archaeological importance, being the most developed site of the Casas Grandes Culture after the colossal Paquimé.
It is located 50 km north of our municipality in the Sierra Madre Occidental, on the road that goes to the ejido El Largo. To get there you have to walk for about an hour along a path that goes down to the bottom of the ravine and then climb up to the site. The group of forty houses consists of a series of 15 rooms, some of them two stories high, made of cast adobe and dating from the 13th century, when Paquimé was at its peak.
