Conca

Concá brings together natural, cultural, and water-related points of interest. These include the Jardín Etnobiológico, the Misión de Concá, the Árbol Milenario, and natural pools. If you’re looking for hotels in Conca, these varied interests can help shape the focus of your trip.

Biocultural diversity and ancient trees

The Jardín Etnobiológico Concá is located on the UAQ campus in Concá. It is dedicated to preserving and sharing the biocultural diversity of the Sierra Gorda. The term biocultural brings together biological diversity and cultural contexts. As a result, the garden’s focus extends beyond individual plants to the diversity of the Sierra Gorda as a whole. For nature- and culture-focused travel planning, the garden offers a different point of reference from a single tree or pool.

At the façade of the Misión de Concá, Pame artisans carved plant motifs. For travelers interested in design, the façade offers a specific cultural point of reference. The Árbol Milenario is a sabino, also known as an ahuehuete, and is approximately 1,200 years old. While the Misión features plant motifs created by artisans, the tree is a single natural point of reference with an approximate age. The two points of interest are therefore distinct: a decorated façade on the one hand, and a particular tree with its own name and considerable age on the other.

Water spots in and around Concá

El Abanico is surrounded by lush vegetation, including oaks, pines, white cedars, nogalillos, and firs. Its turquoise pools are fed by streams that flow directly down from the hills. Water conditions can vary seasonally. Nacimiento El Abanico is a natural pool surrounded by vegetation, with clear water, and is suitable for swimming. At El Abanico, the turquoise pools fed by streams and seasonal changes in water conditions are important points to keep in mind.

El Abanico is located in the municipality of Salitrillo in Concá, Arroyo Seco, at kilometer 32 of Federal Highway 69 between Jalpan and Río Verde. The Río Ayutla is in the destination’s surrounding area, in Ayutla. Its turquoise, crystal-clear water, rock formations, and natural pools offer another point of natural interest. Geographically, the spots in Concá are distinct from this nearby point of interest.
