Saltillo isn’t the only city in Coahuila with a wide variety of activities for visitors—just about three hours away you’ll find Torreón.

Located west of the state capital, this destination has tourist attractions that will take you to new heights to discover the wonders of Mexico.

Day 1 in Torreón

Visit the monumental Cristo de las Noas statue

We suggest heading up to the top of Cerro de las Noas to admire a monumental statue of Christ the Protector, a city symbol for the past 41 years, standing 22 meters tall.

In addition to this iconic regional landmark, the visit includes exploring the sanctuary located at the summit, enjoying an exciting cable car ride, and taking in an unbeatable panoramic view of the city.

Stroll through Alameda Zaragoza

Once back down, you’ll have several options to enjoy Coahuila’s sunshine and natural spaces. One of them is Alameda Zaragoza, the most important park in the city and perfect for relaxation.

Along with a lovely green area to take in the city, you can also delight in the food options here, which is one of the reasons locals frequent this spot.

Stop by Venustiano Carranza Park

Although smaller compared to other large alamedas in Mexico, Venustiano Carranza Park offers an equally refreshing experience. Just a few blocks to the east, this park invites you to enjoy its lush vegetation and the shade provided by its many trees.

As soon as you step into this green oasis, you’ll notice it’s a very family-oriented place, especially with rides and activities that allow for quality family time.

Enjoy an ice cream or play a quick soccer match here to break away from the usual travel routine, thanks to the many sports you can practice in Torreón’s green lung.

Attend a baseball game at Estadio Revolución

To better understand the lifestyle of this northern Mexican city, stop by Estadio Revolución, right next door. Baseball is one of Coahuila’s favorite sports and a must-see weekend activity.

After touring these spots, we recommend visiting Stock Café at Real Inn Torreón, where you can enjoy a sandwich and a delicious coffee.

Day 2 in Torreón

Your second day can be dedicated to cultural visits, as this is one of the city’s highlights. Torreón is home to beautiful museums such as the Arocena, Casa del Cerro, and the Railway Museum.

Visit the Arocena Museum

At the Arocena you’ll find a wide range of activities—from its permanent collection featuring colonial art and other works, to temporary exhibits with paintings, photography, and more.

Since it’s open on weekends, the museum also offers an extended program with films, storytelling, workshops, and other activities for the whole family.

Tour Casa del Cerro Museum

The Casa del Cerro Museum will captivate you at first sight, thanks to the architecture of this 120-year-old house that also offers a stunning view of the entire city.

It’s a place steeped in history, as during the Mexican Revolution it served as Francisco Villa’s trench. Inside you’ll find personal and artistic belongings of engineer Federico Wulff’s family, the creator of this dreamlike home.

Be amazed at the Railway Museum

Finally, at the Railway Museum you can step back into the old stations of this form of transportation, which was once the most important in the city, key to connecting Torreón with other states and driving the economic growth of the Comarca Lagunera.

These three museums are just a few of the 11 Torreón has to offer for locals and visitors alike, making it a pleasant and peaceful city to rest while enjoying all the conveniences of urban life.
