Overview

Escape the coast this Monday and venture into the Sierra Madre Mountains on this discounted, adults-only, gay-friendly day trip to San Sebastián del Oeste, one of Mexico’s most charming Pueblos Mágicos.

This former mining town feels frozen in time, with cobblestone streets, adobe homes, and fascinating history and legends shared during the scenic drive—giving you more free time to explore once you arrive.

Highlights include a tequila tasting, a visit to an opal shop, free time to explore, and a traditional family-style lunch. You may also skip the downtown walk and rent an ATV to explore nearby attractions like the old cemetery, open mine, or chocolate factory.

A perfect mix of culture, history, flavors, and mountain views before a relaxing return to Puerto Vallarta.
