Perched 75 meters above sea level on Cerro del Vigía sits a historic site first used to watch for approaching ships signaling below with colored flags and bell chimes, later added to function as a centre to create meteorological reports and in 1910 it was used as a seismological station. A cyclone in 1927 destroyed the buildings distinctive domes.

Today the site has been restored and boasts a beautiful tourist attraction including a ride up the hill in a unique rail car, a tour of the 19th century home, agave garden, Mezcal tasting bar and bird preservation area. The best part of the Observatorio is the stunning 360° views.
