Mexico's gondola boat rides. This place is very lively on weekends and you can find live mariachi/bands playing, food vendors and drinks served on your boat.

There are many "Valles" in the area, but the one we like is closest to the city and is called El Zarco. You can fish your own rainbow trout at "El Truchon" and the restaurant will cook it for you. Try the wild mushroom soup and cafe de Olla. There's Horse riding, 4 wheelers for rent here. Bring a jacket since it gets cold even in Summer and umbrella in case it rains. Go have breakfast and stay for lunch. On the way back to the city, make sure you stop by at "Las Fresas (del km 23)" for their strawberries and cream.
