Description

After picking you up from your hotel in Guanajuato at the indicated time, we'll set off on an exciting tour through the events of the Mexican Revolution that led to the country's independence.

To kick off the experience, we'll stop to sample the delicious sweets of the Guanajuato mountains at the Conservas Santa Rosa store. Then we'll visit the city's old prison and the mausoleum of singer José Alfredo Jiménez.

Next, we'll visit Dolores Hidalgo, where the priest Miguel Hidalgo Costilla, known as the Father of the Nation, triggered the revolution with his Cry of Dolores in 1810. In Dolores, we'll visit the church where the popular uprising took place and reveal key facts about the independence movement and its origins.

Afterwards, we'll arrive at Atotonilco, where we'll enter the Sanctuary of Jesus Nazareno, a beautiful baroque church that houses historical murals painted by the artist Pocasangre. Did you know that the priest Hidalgo took the banner of the Virgin of Guadalupe as the first flag of the Insurgents?

Anyone peckish? We'll stop so you may have lunch at your leisure and then, following in the footsteps of the War of Independence, we'll next reach San Miguel de Allende.

The name of this town will soon become familiar to you, as one of the leaders of the war, General Ignacio Allende, was originally from here. We'll be stopping to give you an hour of free time to keep exploring the town at your leisure. Finally, we'll drop you off in the center of Guanajuato, near the Juarez Theater, arriving 8 hours after the initial pickup at your hotel.

Partial Closures

During weekends, Atotonilco may not be accessible due to spiritual retreats.
From July 3-24, the José Alfredo Jiménez House Museum will be closed.
