Sierra María

Sierra María's nature heritage consists of a forest mass of pines, unique plant species, and over a hundred species of birds.

The sierra offers an extensive variety of plant communities. This is due, in part, to the characteristics of the soil, which is limy and has given rise to caves and cracks.
