➢ The Spa and Resort of Aguas Termales de Chignahuapan is surrounded by mountains on the way to the sea of Veracruz, where the Ajajalpan flows. The thermal water pools invite you to do nothing but be with your body in the warm and calm waters. Those who stay in one of the 65 rooms of the hotel (there is a total of one bath with thermal water) have access to the eleven private pools . Or you pay a general admission and wander through the public pools, there are indoor or outdoor crowded with the mountains. Either way, everything about this place helps soothe the soul: the hot stone massages, the thermal mud wraps, the temazcal. Calming oils from citrus fruits, rose lotions, wild roots and handmade soaps and masks are sold.
➢ The environment of Chignahuapan is known in ATV and motocross . The Water Monsters Group offers tours from one to seven hours. With them are crossed rivers and canyons, mountains and caves . And those who are in Chignahuapan during the National Tree and Sphere Fair will not want to miss the day when a special route is organized.
➢ For decades, residents of this town have been making hand-painted and blown glass balls. Look for them in workshops and stores throughout the city: Inarvi Crafts, León Balls, Alex Balls, El Pato Balls, Los Tres Pinitos, Flores López Balls, Campanita Balls, Flower Craft Workshop, Garnica Balls, River Christmas Balls, Cristi Balls . Discover what is behind this great production in the Artisan Corridor . If you like clay objects, visit the Castro Soza family.
➢ Enter La Condesa Bakery and taste the fig bread that is made there. It is also possible to find the typical cheese bread that Chignahuapan shares with Zacatlán, whose fame has made it not only one of the gastronomic references of the municipality, but also of Puebla . You can also find the "hanging bread" that used to be given away as a synonym for commitment.
Stopped at a tourist attraction in the same canyon as Barranca de los Jilgueros: the Tulimán Waterfalls. The three waterfalls plunge nearly 1000 feet and resemble a natural altar in a Gothic church. The ancient trunks form the columns, the branches the ribs, and the treetops a huge green dome. There is no better refuge to pay tribute to nature, and hundreds of tourists come here to do just that. They flock to the Tulimán Eco-Park to hike, climb some of the giant pines or feel the ziplining, among other activities.
Chignahuapan, however, is very modern, yet impressive. The Basilica of the Immaculate Conception is said to house the largest statue of the Mother of Jesus in the world. The enormous work, which stands nearly forty feet tall, is reminiscent of statues of Greco-Roman gods. At the Virgin's feet are a serpent and a crescent moon, images Christians borrowed from the goddesses Juno and Diana at the dawn of Christianity.
But the city certainly has its share of ancient churches like Santiago Apóstol (St. James the Apostle) in the main square. The saint gallops across the upper facade, while below him a legion of chubby-cheeked cherubs hold aloft a tangle of wreaths, rosettes and draperies worked in mortar by local artisans in the 16th century. While Chignahuapan is a good place to sample wonderful traditional dishes such as Three Kings bread, the town is known throughout Mexico for its production of Christmas tree ornaments.
The Boutique Navideña (Christmas Boutique) demonstrates the manufacturing process: glass is blown into the desired shape (balls, fruits, mushrooms, acorns, etc.) and injected with silver nitrate to create a mirror effect, give the glass a silky feel and protect it against scratches. Then color is added and decorative details are applied by hand. In Chignahuapan, it can seem like Christmas all year round, as the 420 artisans and six factories only take a break during the first two weeks of January. Local officials estimate annual production at more than 75 million ornaments.
Like other "magical cities," Chignahuapan sponsors numerous cultural festivals, but also offers the added attraction of lakeside festivals that give the city its name. For ancient Mesoamerican peoples, lakes and grottos were imbued with great spiritual power, as they were seen as bridges to another world. If you are lucky enough to be here on the Day of the Dead, don't miss the Festival of Offerings, which takes place on a stage in the middle of the lake and ends with the public floating thousands of mini rafts in memory of them beloved.
On days outside the festival, the lake offers a tranquil view at dusk, when the sun paints the surface of the water with silver and lavender, and birds bid farewell to the day as they seek refuge in the reeds on the shore. We also bid farewell to a week of discoveries spent following the trails and exploring the magical towns of the Sierra Norte in Puebla.
