About Cosala
You may reach Cosala town via federal highway No. 15th, toward Culiacan’s south (the states’ capital), and 104 kms to the North of Mazatlan; you will come across the intersection by the name of Cosala, or well through the toll road that heads all the way to the junction of La Cruz de Elota City. From the intersection on, you engage a 54 kms drive heading east by a pavement road that turns out to be an unforgettable experience all the way through it, due to the settings of enormous and endless mountains and hills that are endowed by rich vegetation that grant views of amazing landscapes.
The land which Cosala is currently settled in, used to be occupied by pre-Columbian communities, mainly by Indian groups named Tepechuanes, Acaxees ad Xiximies; we find a testimony of this civilization through diverse petroglyphs and cave paintings that may be appreciated in multiple regions of this municipality. The Spanish conquest arrived along alley Indians from an opposite route of the Aztecs, and found in 1531 a beautiful place named Quetzalla or Cozatl, “Place of beautiful Surroundings” and “Guacamayas’ Place” in which they confirmed right away the existence of great mineral richness.
The original urban outlines in Cosala remain untouched; the shapes along with the wide and high characteristics of both streets and sidewalks haven’t suffered modifications. Cosala’s architecture has been saved at a 90% in terms of facades and interiors and they are currently being under restoration to achieve a 100% restoration.
Cosala Architecture, as it comes from nature it also perfectly incorporates to nature as well, with inner patios and thick adobe walls that help to avoid all weather issues, since during the summer and winter times preserve moderated temperatures. Cosala’s architecture not only gets incorporated to the natural environment, it belongs to nature itself.
