By Bicycle Due to the extension of the city, the use of bicycles is not recommended. The city offers multiple parks with bike tracks, visited specially during the weekends by the local families. One of these parks is Tangmanga Park. On Sunday mornings, Carranza Avenue is closed to transit. This allows for a “family ride,” when families can bike, skate, or walk peacefully. By Foot Besides the downtown area, the city does not offer a proper design for walking, so it is not recommended to walk around the city. The historic downtown area, however, is great for walking. Weekend Trips San Luis Potosí has several destinations nearby where people go to spend their weekends. Huasteca Potosína is a natural desert setting filled with remarkable mountains and rock formations. La Huasteca’s vertical wall-like cliffs and canyons attract daring mountain climbers with a challenging experience. La Huasteca is home to a variety of flora and fauna typical of desert regions of northern México. This is one of the most beautiful natural places in all of México. It has a rich jungle ecosystem and exceptional beauty with its rivers, chasms, and waterfalls. It is the perfect area for a day of adventure tourism. The main sites of interest in the Huasteca Potosína are the Tamul Waterfall, the Bridge of God, the Castle of Sir Edward James, Xilitla, and Micos Waterfalls. Several rivers in the area offer swimming and rafting excursions. There are special adventure agencies that can organize a trip for you. Real de Catorce is considered a member of the Pueblos Magicos of México (Magic towns). This is a colorful town with multiple cultural activities. It was considered “Wirikuta” (a highly sacred place in Huichol) by the UNESCO. Sotano de las Golondrinas is a cave that is one of the deepest pits in the world. Considered part of the 13 México’s Wonders, this location is the natural habitat for millions of swift birds.
