Explore Adventure in San Miguel de Allende

7 days/6 nights

Tour highlights

 

San Miguel de Allende: A historic town founded in 1542, this gem of Mexico is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And don’t forget: It was the first town to declare independence from Spanish rule during the Mexican War of Independence.

 

Atotonilco: Traditional pilgrimage town and UNESCO World Heritage Site best known for its decorated 18th-century church. In fact, it is often referred to as the Sistine Chapel of Mexico!

San Miguel Viejo: This is the original placement of San Miguel, and can be found just west of the city’s current location. Its 1540s chapel is the oldest in the city and is a worthy reason to visit this historical sector.

Tour overview

Declared a World Heritage Site, San Miguel de Allende is brimming with art, culture and history but it also has an adventurous side. Gain a bird’s-eye view in a hot air balloon, go horseback riding to get a taste of country life in Mexico, cycle your way through a historic lake area, and so much more. This San Miguel de Allende journey is unlike typical San Miguel de Allende vacation packages as it will combine important city sites with breathtaking landscapes and a touch of adrenaline.

After yesterday’s bike tour, it’s time to rest your legs.

Afterwards, refuel at an organic restaurant surrounded by Mesquite woods for a grilled lunch and artisanal beer.
