What you can expect

  • Discover the historic landmarks of Guanajuato, a UNESCO-listed mining town that was the world's leading silver extraction center during the 18th century. Soak up fascinating information about the city's colonial past and fight for independence, and glimpse awe-inspiring vistas from a pristine hilltop monument.

    Get picked up from your Guanajuato hotel and launch your memorable excursion. Begin by traveling to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guanajuato. Marvel at the edifice's colorful facade and allow your guide to teach you about its 300-year-old history. Then, visit the Hidalgo Market with its stalls overflowing with fresh produce and artisan goods.

    During the course of your tour, hear stories of Guanajuato's past. Visit the Mummies of Guanajuato—the skeletal remains of a devastating 1833 cholera outbreak. Then, explore the city's underground streets which were tunneled to prevent the Guanajuato River from flooding the mining town. Finally, at the monument of El Pípila, pay homage to a local war hero and enjoy resplendent views of the city.
