Some of History

From the Rarámuri language it means “place of herons”. In the mid-18th century, this Magical Town was founded as a visiting town by Jesuit missionaries, since Rarámuri ranches abounded in the area. With abundant water springing naturally, mestizos moved in and began planting fruit orchards. Corn and beans grew very well, and thus it became an indigenous and commercial center.

Heritage cultural

Guachochi's wealth comes from its abundant water, it forms rivers, streams, lakes and waterfalls, supporting all types of life. The narrow ravines of the Santa Sinforosa, and the extensive chasms in the peaks of Wuérachi tell us about the intense volcanism that formed the Sierra Tarahumara.
