What Makes It Magical
On the shores of Presa Plutarco Elías Calles, this small town comes together around its faith, as seen by its colossal Christ monument. One visit to the sanctuary is enough to understand its power. Chatting with the skipper on the boat ride to the monument or any one of the locals will pique your curiosity to learn more about the Cristo Roto that overlooks the town from an island in the reservoir. Its natural surroundings will entice you to explore Boca de Túnel and experience nature up close and personal.
