But it's a pretty tiny "lake" and not especially scenic. When we got there, we decided not to rent a boat because it was so small. Maybe families with young children would like it? The neighboring park is really beautiful, though.

If you happen to visit Guanajato, taking this funicular should be a must do activity!…read more The views are incredible up on top once you reach Pipila Monument! Great way to admire the architecture of the city and enjoy the colors of the houses below! One of a kind experience, it doesn't take long to get up there and the price is reasonable.

Although it doesn't rise to the highest parts of town, Guanajuato's funicular is worth the ride for…read morethe efficiency of the experience and the views en route. From below, you'll see the steep stairs beside the funicular. These are not available to climb. Rather, get yourself a one-way ticket and navigate the appropriate stairs/path to get back to the town's main street. It's impossible to get truly lost on the way down and once you get down you'll know how to get back up without the funicular if you later choose to do so (the walk up takes about 15 minutes). At the top of the Funicular are a series of shops and then, a bit further up, the al Pipila Monument. I did no research but was told by someone knowledgeable that al Pipila is Mexico's Paul Revere. More great photos can be snapped from the place right below al Pipila. Cheap and fun and easy to navigate, if you're in Guanajuato you should definitely try the funicular at least once.
