About this tip
National park less than an hr away from the city, it has a historic former convent in the middle of the woods, great cheap Mexican dishes and is a great place to trail run. You can spend the whole morning wandering surrounded by tall beautiful trees getting to tour where silent monks found a perfect spot to honor their silent vow. Outside you can buy tacos, quesadillas and great coffee.
