Copala
Copala, Sinaloa
A 16th-century silver-mining town in the Sierra Madre, with whitewashed walls, red-tiled roofs and the 1748 San José Church, all well preserved.
Copala is about 55 km from Mazatlán. It once boomed on silver mining and is now a quiet mountain town, with cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses with red-tiled roofs and the San José Church, which together form a classic colonial scene. Donkeys are often seen in the streets. The town's famous old restaurant is known for its banana cream pie. The mountain roads wind, so it is best to join a tour or drive yourself. Combined with Concordia, it makes a day trip of about 6 to 8 hours round trip.
