Narcoturismo arrives in Torreón? ;)
Unfortunately, I think that's probably the only way tourism is coming here.
I would take that tour. Gotta find a reason to get to Torreon. Place seems to have become much more exciting since I was last there in 2003.
Exciting for the wrong reasons, unfortunately. It's reminds of my conception of Camden New Jersey or another of those really rough mid-sized northeastern towns: not a lot to do, not a lot to see, but hang around a while and you get some crazy stories through the rumor mill.
