Sightseeing Some places you can visit are Camino a Santa Ana, which is a road many people run on for exercise, because cars rarely pass by there. There is also "El Tepehuaje" which is somewhat like a park. El Tepehuaje has many trees as well as a soccer field for kids to enjoy and it also has what some consider to be a great view.
