El SúchilOfrenda religiosa tradicional de las comunidades locales. Su
origen es la estera improvisada y cubierta de flores que servía para trasladar a los guerreros chichimecas caídos en combate, durante las luchas de Conquista del siglo XVI. Su elemento principal es la cucharilla o chimal (Dasylirion acrotriche), planta silvestre regional, de la cual se desprenden pequeñas lajas para tejerse en el conjunto de la ofrenda.Este súchil corresponde a la festividad de la Santa Cruz del Charco del Ingenio, realizada cada año en el mes de julio.
