This city, located in the state of Durango, has enormous gardens, parks and plazas where the songs of birds cover the rhythm of children laughing and playing.
Ciudad de Lerdo is part of the region known as “La Comarca Lagunera”, and, honoring its name, the Francisco Zarco Dam is waiting for you to take a refreshing dip under its tranquil waters.
You can practice kayaking or fishing, but if you are seeking for a peace of mind, the gorgeous landscapes and the gastronomy will more than satisfy you.
This precinct has several grills and fisheries where you will enjoy what the dam has to offer you.
The gastronomy of the region is very diverse as it has dishes like stew, barbecue, “tortillones” and “menudo”.
Raymundo National Park is another place that you must enjoy if you wish to practice aquatic sports or rent a boat to tour the Nazas River.
The Park has swimming pools and canoe stations, as well as grills and a children pool, making this place an ideal destination that you and your family can enjoy.
The Sarnoso mountain chain is another place where you will be able to practice camping as you shower with the light of dream-like and magical sunsets.
Beside these natural attractions, the region also offers several architectonic and cultural sites like the Clock Tower, the Municipal Presidency and the Sagrado Corazón de Jesús Church, to mention a few.
Since this community is considered as a 'Garden Town', you will find beautiful sceneries at the Victoria Park, the Juárez Plaza and the Main Plaza.
The latter offers embossed artisanal crafts made with “machimbre”, plaster and ceramic.

Infinito México recommends
visit Fernández Canyon State Park, a protected natural area, where people enjoy a natural spectacle as they witness the amazing landscapes and practice hiking, mountain biking, camping, bird watching, alpinism, kayaking and motor biking; this last activity, while it is practiced, is not highly recommended as it damages the ecosystem, just like overfishing.
This 17,000 hectare location is home of the must-see archeological sites called Indio Cave, San Jacinto Towers and “Reliz del Venado”; it also offers a paleontological site that will make of your visit a cultural adventure.
Remember to try the incredibly famous “Chepo” ice cream among the beautiful gardens of the Main Plaza, which will surely refresh your inspiration to visit this lovely city once more.
