ALLEYS – MINES AND HACIENDAS

Guanajuato is the most important colonial tourist destination in Mexico due to the diversity of its attractions, such as its six Magical Towns, two Heritage Cities, five archaeological sites and Tourist Parks that attract local, national and international visitors. Guanajuato is not only one of Mexico’s most historically rich states, it is also home to one of the country’s most beautiful cities, its capital. Perhaps it is no coincidence that being exactly in the center of the country, it concentrates so many traditions.
