📷 Top Attractions
No.1 Saltillo
Museo del Desierto
The Museo del Desierto in Saltillo opened in 1999 on the natural history and ecology of the Chihuahuan Desert. Northern Mexico is significant dinosaur-fossil country, and the museum shows several skeletons and reconstructions excavated in Coahuila, among them ceratopsian and hadrosaur material found locally; live sections keep desert tortoises, rattlesnakes and prairie dogs, alongside an outdoor cactus garden. Displays are organised by geological time and by ecological theme, and it works well for families.
Sightseeing
No.2 Saltillo
Catedral de Santiago de Saltillo
The Catedral de Santiago is the main cathedral of Saltillo, begun in the 18th century and built from the region's distinctive pink stone, with a late-Baroque façade and twin towers. Its high nave, carved wooden pulpit and side chapels survive well, giving Coahuila's capital its most recognisable silhouette.
