Places to visit
Local culture
Food
In the capital, we never miss an opportunity to celebrate next to a grill. We light the mesquite charcoal and grill the delicious beef, sausages, potatoes, chili peppers, onions, and tomatoes.
Tradition and customs
In Chihuahua City, the Fairs dedicated to Santa Rita are celebrated. Every Saturday, live popular music concerts are held in front of the Cathedral. In the 11 museums of the city, valuable collections are kept that preserve more than three centuries of history.
Clothing
It is very common to see many people dressed in cowboy style in the city. Hats, boots and wide belts on jeans are the style of clothing for many urban youth. The boot shops located behind the cathedral do a lot of business and are a must-see.
Religion
The Mennonites settled in Cuauhtémoc City more than 100 years ago. They live their religion day by day. They are people who practice Christianity, under the teachings of Menno Simmons. They are pacifists and tireless workers. Work is their form of prayer.
