Purísima del Rincón

Purísima del Rincón was founded on January 1, 1603 with the name of San Juan del Bosque and, with time, was renamed Purísima del Rincón, in honor of the devotion to the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception. The municipal seat is Purísima de Bustos, named after the painter Hermenegildo Bustos.

The municipality's economy has a strong agricultural base, with crops such as corn, sorghum, and potatoes, as well as manufacturing activities such as shoe and textile factories.

The Parroquia de la Purísima Concepción, along with other historic temples such as the Templo del Señor de la Columna and regional museums, are important attractions.

The culture of Purísima del Rincón is expressed in its traditional festivities, highlighting the celebrations of Holy Week with “La Judea” and gastronomic fairs such as Purísima de Mil Sabores and the Nut and Quince Fair.

The local gastronomy is a true delight, with dishes such as enchiladas with jerky, walnut mole, gorditas de harina, Jalpa's handmade ice cream and sweets such as quince paste.

Surrounded by rural landscapes and natural areas, the municipality invites you to enjoy outdoor activities and connect with the tranquility of the countryside.
