Durango is a vast, mountainous state in north-central Mexico, spanning the pine forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental down to the arid plains of the Bolsón de Mapimí. Its colonial capital, Victoria de Durango, is renowned for baroque architecture and a Hollywood-era legacy as the backdrop for dozens of classic Westerns, while the surrounding countryside offers dramatic mountain highways, desert curiosities, and small mining towns.
