What to expect

  1. Pozos de Mineral
    50m
    "A magical morning in Mineral de Pozos. ☕️ Nothing beats starting the day among cobblestone streets and the aroma of fresh chilaquiles (or some eggs made to order for the soul). Full stomach, happy 'Pueblo Mágico' heart! "
  2. Arroyo Seco
    2h
    "Explore the deep history of Guanajuato at the Arroyo Seco archaeological zone. ✨ A two-hour hike through this INAH-protected treasure, where ancient cave paintings tell stories from centuries ago.
    It’s an incredibly well-maintained site with clear trails and clean restrooms, making it the perfect stop to stretch your legs and soak up some culture before heading to our final destination. A peaceful, archaeological breath of fresh air! "
  3. 3h
    "We’ve arrived at the heart of the Sierra Gorda: Xichú, a corner of the world where the mountains meet the rhythm of huapango. ⛰️ Our refuge is Quinta Huapanguera, a true green oasis that feels like a breath of life in the middle of the high sierra. ✨
    Between the sound of the violin and the freshness of this hidden paradise, Xichú welcomes us with open arms and all the magic of its tradition. The final destination couldn't be any better! "
