Nazas is a small town on the river of the same name in the north of the state of Durango, where the Sierra Madre Occidental gives way to the high, dry basins of the Mexican interior. It sits on the route of the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the old royal road that ran north from Mexico City to Santa Fe, carrying silver, mercury, goods and settlers for nearly three centuries. A group of its historic buildings, around the main square and church, was included in the UNESCO listing of the Camino Real in 2010.

For nearly three centuries, the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro was the royal road linking Mexico City with Santa Fe in New Mexico, a route some 2,600 kilometres long that carried silver south and settlers, missionaries, soldiers and goods north. In the state of Durango, it crossed a vast semi-desert of scrub, cactus and rocky hills, and the stretch between Nazas and San Pedro del Gallo is one of the sections inscribed on the UNESCO list in 2010. Along the road, haciendas, chapels and waystations grew up wherever water could be found.

Stretch of the Camino Real between Nazas a comes up about 22 km into the recorded legs. Next is Town of San Pedro del Gallo.
San Pedro del Gallo is a very small town in a very big landscape, and that is precisely its appeal. Fewer than a thousand people live here, in the high desert of northern Durango, among dry plains, low mountains and endless sky, and the town grew up as a stop on the Camino Real de Tierra Adentro, the royal road that linked Mexico City with the northern frontier and Santa Fe. San Pedro del Gallo is one of the places included in the UNESCO listing of the Camino Real, with its church, simple adobe houses and the quiet atmosphere of a place where time moves slowly.
