Day Trip to La Noria

by JackMoreau March 16,2005

The little mountain village of La Noria is just 40 minutes northeast of Mazatlán– and well worth a visit. Nestled into its own little corner of the world, "La Noria," which means "The Well," is named for the shape it takes; entering the town means descending into a bowl-shaped area, giving the appearance of a town set in a well. Highlights include an old jail, which is still in use, the church of San Antonio, and a variety of locally made leather goods. Since it is not uncommon to see a cowboy ride up to the local supermarket on horseback, it is fitting that leather shops specialize in saddles, which are sold all over Sinaloa. You can watch these and other leather goods being made right in the shops, must-buy huaraches with their ever-lasting rubber tire soles. To get to La Noria by car, take Highway 15 north out of Mazatlán. You'll pass the toll (cuota) road to Culiacan and eventually see a sign on the right side directing you to La Noria. Following the sign, turn right (or east) and follow the road that will take you right into the town.

Hacienda Las Moras

Just 30 minutes northeast of Mazatlán, a deserted agave ranchhouse and tequila distillery has been transformed into a tasteful, tranquil guest ranch. The 3,000-acre ranch is a refuge for both humans and animals, from miniature horses to exotic pure-white peacocks. A small white chapel sits atop a slight ridge overlooking the property, with the Sierra Madres rising in the background. The original stables, hacienda, and tequila-factory buildings have been completely renovated with attention to detail, and several new casitas are filled with classic Mexican touches. To honor the privacy of their guests, drop-in visits are not allowed, but tour groups and individuals may visit for lunch and a horseback ride, with advance reservations.

The ranch is a peaceful, completely secluded hideaway with accommodations that make you feel like you're staying in a luxurious private home. The 11 casitas have air-conditioning and fans, kitchens and bathrooms tiled in bright yellows and blues, upholstered equipal chairs and couches in the living rooms, and carved wooden armoires and dressers in the bedrooms. Each
casita has a large porch, where guinea hens tend to roost in the window boxes among blooming flowers. The chef prepares superb regional Mexican cuisine with breads baked daily in a wood-burning beehive oven. Guests are welcome to ride the horses up the mountain foothills and into towns that still lack automobiles and electricity. There's a pool and tennis courts, and plenty of space to roam in complete solitude.
