AN IDEAL DESTINATION FOR ADVENTURERS
Located only 57 km from the city of Aguascalientes, this picturesque town is crossed by the Blanco and Prieto rivers and is surrounded by a wooded landscape in the middle of the Sierra Fría. It is an ideal place for ecotourism and adventure travel enthusiasts.
San José de Gracia is situated on the banks of the Plutarco Elías Calles Dam, with a picturesque pier where you can find palapas offering regional dishes.
Due to its elevation of over 2000 meters above sea level, it has a temperate climate with an average annual temperature of 16ºC.
The entire town maintains the tradition of bathing in the Calles Dam on June 24th, the day of San Juan, as they consider the water to be blessed on that day.

Enjoy the Plutarco Elías Calles Dam
You can visit the Plutarco Elías Calles Dam, which offers cabins, restaurants, palapas, jet skis, and boats. It also features the San José Nautical Club, which has sand imported from Puerto Vallarta for the enjoyment of its visitors.
Inside the dam, there is an island that houses the Cristo Roto, an important monument over 28 meters tall, with the sculpture measuring 25 meters and a 3-meter base. It was built in honor of the old Pueblo Viejo, which was flooded when the dam was constructed. To reach the island, you have to climb some stairs to reach the sanctuary.
This impressive sculpture is missing its right arm and leg, as it is inspired by the tragedy that struck the town during the dam's construction when everyone had to evacuate as the water rose.
Enjoy at the Los Alamitos Ecological Camp
Located in the heart of the Sierra Fría, you will find the Los Alamitos Ecological Camp, a place that allows for direct contact with nature and offers educational and recreational outdoor activities.
