I was pleasantly surprised! I was expecting a small park, but this place is big with many different trials to hike and places to see. I spent about 90 minutes here, but could easily have spent double that. The entrance fee is only 100 pesos, and they offer a discount for teachers and students with valid IDs. There is a huge dam, waterfalls, rivers, plants, observatories, and much more. They have a gift shop with handmade goodies to help support their conservation efforts. It is well-kept, and the variety of plants and small insects is fascinating. Come prepared with hiking shoes, water, sunscreen and a hat because you can spend half a day here. I took an Uber there and back, or you can drive because there is plenty of parking. They also have clean restrooms and a small cafe selling drinks. The views are amazing, and it's perfect for a quiet getaway in nature.

Really big botanical garden with great views into the canyon. It’s so peaceful here and you can see many different plants and bird species. The natural products in the shop are great too and the staff is super friendly!

We visited the Charco Reserve this morning, glad we got there at around 10 in the morning and while it was getting hot by the end of our hike, we were very glad that we wore sunscreen and hats and got there early. Many parts of the trail are covered with shade, but many parts are not. We spent about 1 to 2 hours hiking the trails, there are many options, we did find sometimes that there were a few too many options that were unmarked, never that we felt like we would get lost, but we’re not clear which path was which on the West end. They have done an absolutely beautiful job with the buildings and the displays and the preservation work that’s done for this important botanical region. Many little surprise buildings along the way, including the four winds and the memorial and surprising views not just of the water and the dam but also the unexpected canyon… Absolutely worth a visit. We took an Uber to get there And walked home… If you have bad knees, I would not recommend that as the downhill is pretty steep, but was definitely just a 20 to 25 minute walk back to Centro. I imagine that a nature guide if hired would have been very informative, but you certainly don’t need one to enjoy this place… and thrilled to be here just as the monarchs are starting to arrive…

Charco del Ingenio is a great visit. Wonderful paths to roam and explore the large natural gardens. Beautiful plants 🪴 and cactus 🌵 mixed together. Large presa and wetlands. We are lucky and live only 10 mins away and joined as Members on the spot. Highly recommend a visit for couples, families and singles. Nice store and snack bar (jugo verde was delicious). Staff is great and very friendly.

Beautiful peaceful relaxing place with many plants. We saw many spiders (the season for them) as well as lizards and a road runner. Interesting displays in English as well as Spanish which we appreciated.

Great location. Good hiking with lots of interesting stops along the way. The trails are all marked well and groomed. We ate a little snack at the Cafe. Food was all hand made and excellent. Juices were, too. Bring a couple of bottles of water. You can refill them at the Cafe for free after your hike. We went east to the hothouse and old Bridge. Then along the lake to the dam and the Sculpture Marker on the other side. We did not go to the Hacienda Ruins as I don't think that area has been completed. We came up for a snack and to use the restrooms. Then took the lower trail along the canyon to the western viewpoints. The ladies in the reception area are really nice. English and Spanish is spoken. My wife spent more at the gift shop then we did on the entry tickets. Highly recommend.

I’ve been going for many years now - still the best place to stroll around close to town. Go in the morning before for the heat comes up, fabulous views over the city. Great vistas at any season. I finally decided to join the botanical garden as I really like all the new construction they have done architecturally the new rooms are excellent the vaulted curved brick work is amazing.

Excellent place to visit local artists and view their artistic talents. They have a cafe and workshops. They also have artworks for purchase. It’s really nice place to view different artworks as they have multiple galleries.

This place is an act of generosity. Anyone can walk in for free (even with their dog) and simply enjoy the endless rooms of gorgeous art.

We did the Sunday Art Walk where many of the artists are there to show and talk about their work (First Sunday of the month). Great space and lots of art on display

This is a very special gallery and a must see to add to your San Miguel trip. $100mx about $5 to take a ta I there. I loved it and bought some very special pieces of art for my collection. Don’t miss it.

So much to see! Wonderful art and sculpture and jewelry. Diverse mix of styles and media. Some galleries offer workshops. Two restaurants and a wine tasting room. Great experience!

Fantatstic art and antiques galley. We walked there and back from the plaza in Centro. So many eye popping displays. I snapped these images before I realized they ask for no photos throughout. I feel like these images do not egregiously snub that request. I discovered many things. I discovered a few art classes and a new artist I will be following. Well worth a return!

A lively garden with live music and dancing in the evenings. There are lots of artisans and food stalls. It is a little small and can get a bit crowded but a perfect stop to look at the Parroquia as you walk up the hill

Beautiful! It's a place you have to go to when in San Miguel! Such a fun place to hang out, eat food and listen to the mariachi bands play!

I was there for an incredible wedding and whilst I was there, there was a festival going on all weekend. 1000 horses passed through the streets one day followed by a huge party in the streets till the early hours of the morning with food and drinks available everywhere. The following day was kilometres of people walking the streets, dancing and acting for hours, music, culture and food everywhere, it was incredible. Fireworks from 2AM through till around 4AM, fun all round. I was there at the beginning of October 2025.

One of the best places anywhere to sit and watch the world go by. Great spot for wedding watching on Saturdays.

The Spanish architecture, culture, history and the doors are absolutely amazing in this charming city! In the center of the Jardin, the Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel church towers above you with cobblestone streets at your feet. It was very walkable and we covered a lot of ground within a week's stay capturing the unique essence in this area. There are hotels throughout the city as well as Airbnb's. The locals are very friendly and you're greeted by many passerby's! Buenos dias.

The Plaza Mayor of San Miguel de Allende, well maintained, clean and great to it full everyday with locals and visitors relaxing, watching folks take pics of the Church and the Allende house now a historic museum.

Plenty of shops and places to sit, eat, drink and enjoy the view. Great food and service. Beautiful churches to worship and sight see.

One of the most beautiful public libraries I've ever seen. There are so many little nooks for reading or working, both indoors and outdoors. ❤️

Great bookshop with a gorgeous mural. The library is very adequate with a beautiful courtyard and a lovely restaurant. I enjoyed walking and exploring the local hangout.

Very interesting area , and painting on the wall , u can get books for English or read book there

Great library with both English and Spanish books. Pretty courtyard with chairs around to take a rest or to read a book. People working there are friendly. Also there is a cafeteria. The restroom is very clean and no charge. Interesting murals in the gift shop. Worth to stop by.

I took one of the public guided tours, which was thorough and professional, returned for two excellent evening musical performances hosted at the library, and ate at the cafe (fruit and yogurt plate) which is a hidden gem! The library has an extensive book collection in English and Spanish and provides a number of services to the local community. An outstanding community resource!

I attended a talk on History of Mexico at no cost. Super interesting. Great for the cultural traveller.

Beautiful, quiet patio and rooms to read a relax in. Also a great place to buy a used book in English for a very reasonable price.

Simply amazing church. Reminded me a bit of La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. Numerous photo ops around the plaza. Lots of people lots of fun!

Just a beautiful parroquia (cathedral) to see in San Miguel de Allende. You don’t have to be catholic to appreciate the beauty and design of this church. You’ll see it from all around town. It’s the center of town for a reason and admired and appreciated by all her residents. Highly recommend.

Simply breathtaking church, With such rich history. Day or night its a spectacle. So many shops, delicious eateries and music in the area. Loved every minute. Felt safe the entire time. Wear comfortable, rubber sole or traction shoes because the terrain (cobblestone) is rough outside of the plaza.

Beautiful church poised on the land of the Jardin Allende, serving as the focal point for San Miguel de Allende. Come and visit, sit in the park, visit one of the cafecitos or restaurants, and take some time out of your life.

San Miguel de Allende, is a charming colonial town in central Mexico. Known for its stunning architecture, cobblestone streets, and good vibes, it attracts visitors from around the globe. The town's iconic Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, with its distinctive pink towers, is a must-see landmark. Beyond its beauty, San Miguel de Allende offers a rich cultural experience, with numerous galleries, museums, and lively festivals throughout the year.

Gem of the city. Great place to hang out and people watch & listen to musicians. Lots of food vendors & restaurants. Clean and Safe.

Beautiful small town, great culture, very family oriented, lots of small business. Loved the atmosphere, alot of tourists. Great placed to enjoy if you are looking for a contrast environment than city life.

We had a fantastic lunch at the Cuna de Tierra Restaurant! The setting is just what you are after when eating in a vineyard, vines all around, fantastic shady table under a tree and a knowledgeable sommelier that can recommend pairings from the a la carte menu. The food is also excellent, with Mexican and more European dishes available. Thanks to Antonio and the team for a wonderful experience!! And let’s not forget the stars of the show, the wines are fantastic with a wide range by the glass too

We spent an exceptional afternoon at Cuna de Tierra learning about the wine and the history of the region. Our host Paco was knowledgeable, gracious, engaging, humorous and clearly passionate about the importance of this growing wine region. We opted to have the four course lunch paired with four very nice wines. Pairing on 3 of the 4 were spot on, my wife believed all four were perfect. Lunch was served under a covered terrace overlooking the vineyard. The chef explained the food and preparation for each dish. The food was exceptional as was the wine, the hospitality was equally memorable. We will be enjoying the wine we brought home with fond memories of our afternoon at the vineyard.

Excellent food, beautiful setting, and terrific wine, especially the Sauvignon Blanc and the Nebbiolo. You'll love it!

Great place to spend a great day; Jorge made our day

Great experience, lovely place, wonderful wines and food 😋 Muchas Gracias a Antonio.

Nice place! We went without reservations but were welcome anyway. No tour though. But we loved the building, great wine and food. At almost 2000 meters in a peacefull surrounding. 👍🏼

Great winery near Dolores Hidalgo. We enjoyed the wine tasting on the outside patio with appetizers

I was very impressed with this museum. I was even more impressed with one of the guides who presented the immersive experience at the painting room. I learned a lot about José Alfredo Jiménez in this museum.

A must visit in Dolores Hidalgo due to importance in this town and Mexican music.

Cool place if your into Art. We stopped by to check it out. Free to get in. Pretty big inside to look around. Lots of art to buy.

If you are a fan of the singer this is a must see as they have about a 10-mins "immersive experience" as you walk in which is just terrific, that goes through his catalog of music and the titles and songs are explained. This is beautiful for everyone. The guide-less tour of the home is short, but very nice. Definitely worth going in, prior to the mausoleum bus tour.

If you like Jose Alfredo Jimenez, then you will enjoy this museum with original telegrams and clothing. Awesome stuff.

A little crowded, never the Less a good place to visit and see how the homes and people used to live. Good place to learn some history and the cover is friendly.

It was amazing to visit the house of my favorite Mariachi singer and composer! They charge $60 pesos per person.

I recently visited Dolores Hidalgo that had a beautiful church called Parroquia de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores. The church was located near a lovely plaza in the center of town. It was a quick stop for me before I headed to San Miguel de Allende. The town had a charming atmosphere and I enjoyed my short stay there.

Dolores hidalgo Is known as "la cuna de la independencia" or the cradle of Independence. This church is probably one of the more popular ones due to its importance in Mexican history.

Start of Independence for Mexico, great place to walk a little and take some pictures of the parish church.

It is a very large and well-preserved church. Walking through its corridors, one can see the care and maintenance dedicated to keeping it in such a great state. It's one of the most ostentatious churches I have seen while visiting Mexico.

This beautiful church stands tall among the local buildings. Please keep an eye out for the intricate details found on the front facade, which are made of cantera. Construction first began in 1712, and three centuries later it still remains as a prime example of baroque churrigueresque style. Upon entering the facilities, gaze up to the ceiling and you will discover a taste of centuries past.

Magnificent Parroquia de Nuestra Senora marking the birthplace of the Mexican Revolution against Spain in September of 1810. Father Hidalgo made his famous call to war to the local population on this plaza. After over a decade of bloodshed the costly conflict gave way to Freedom for Mexico in 1821.

A beautiful church, and since it's facing the main plaza, you can have some of Dolores Hidalgo's famous ice cream at the outdoor stands there after your visit. This church figured in the Mexican independence movement; there are several interesting, inexpensive museums a few paces away.

Charming and informative. Well worth the trip from San Miguel de Allende.

There were some beautiful paintings and some life size statues reenacting different parts of the revolution or life in that time period but otherwise it was disappointing. Fortunately it was not expensive, only 10 pesos, about 50 cents.

It is a cute museum full of history. Nice for kids and also to retake the History classes of Mexico. The rooms are varieted and many of props and touch stuff. Interesting place in downtown of the cradle of mexican independence. Recommended stop to get some culture.

Awesome museum with tons of graphics which made it really interesting for the kids.

Incredible guide. Very knowledgeable and made the story come alive.

Tiny museum and most of it was empty

Very nice perspective on the events that led to the independence of Mexico. Entrance is free on Mondays!

Not bad weather in Feb. Very interesting site. Need to be up to a bit of a walk. Watch out for red ants. Amazing that there are archaeological site in Gto!

Wonderful tour to this historical monument. You will need a guide to show you around.

Wonderful archeology site. No wheelchair access. No backpacks are allowed. Take water. 3/4 of a mile hike to site.

Amazing place. Not too busy during the week. Fair entrance fee, which included parking, toilets, tour guide and bus shuttle service. Shuttle doesn't go all the way to the site though. The last stretch is walked with the group. There are places to take a short rest and get shade. Walk takes about 20 minutes. Tour itself is another 30-45 minutes. they show you everything and explain the meanings and history. it is one of the last pyramids in Mexico where you are allowed to walk up, so it's a once in a lifetime experience. if it gets busier they will probably stop allowing it. at the entrance there is also a small stand for food and drinks. the lady there makes amazing quesadillas. all self made. all in all an amazing experience. Also very close to San Miguel (20 minute drive) so you can combine both.

A magical experience given by a brilliant archeologist who has worked on the site for over 20 years. An impressive amount of knowledge presented in a digestible manner with humor and precision. This tour was a one of a kind experience, due to its seclusion, there are driveways and gates for private accessibility only. We were able to climb & descend the steps to the main site, a truly spectacular opportunity. After tour we were given chance to enjoy homemade tacos and cold drinks that were vegan and gluten free friendly💚 We were then given access to the museum. That concluded the tour with more stories of their artifacts and findings of this truly mystical site. English speaking friendly tour. A large brim hat for shade and comfortable walking shoes are a must.

This was an amazing trip! I would recommend this to everyone, really a must-see. Albert Coffee is a great guide, but book in advance. After your tour, you will have an opportunity to buy some street tacos. These are a must at the end.

Interesting historical site in Guanajuato state, near San Miguel de Allende. The tour guide speaks in Spanish, which we were not yet fluent in, but the museum has some English translation. There is a 15 minute bus ride, and a 20 minute uphill walk to the site, about a mile and a half round trip on foot. Plan on spending about 2-3 hours there. It may be a good idea to call ahead to find out the bus schedule. On the weekday we went, there was a two hour wait between buses, if we had arrived 5 minutes later, we would have had a two hour wait. The path is made of stones and dirt. It would be challenging if you are not in shape or not used to the altitude. There was no apparent access for people with movement disabilities, but there is a museum to visit if you are unable to make the trip with the rest of your party. There is a snack stand and restroom at the visitor center, but no facilities once you get on the bus.

Just a mall lots of shops the part that stands out is the outdoor seating at the food court. There really is not much of a view but it's still cool. Oh... and they have a Carl's Jr! 🤩🍔🤩 Don't forget to visit the nice Coi pond with the turtles.

Great location. Ease of access.

Very nice !!!!! And thet have la Chapultepec everything Including drinks for 23 pesos ! You can't go wrong !

Me encanta vía alta centro comercial unbuen lugar para la familia ir d shopping .. comer un helado ir a Cinemex .. me fascina es elegante aveses tienen eventos !!!lugar bonito great place to visit I love his plaza is such a good site ... To go shop !!w family n chill w friends !! Good place good people

Nice mall, well built with open eating areas and nice views of Salamanca.

Lice little mall free WiFi good food court.

I found what I was looking for and went to get a bite! I had a good time!

Beautiful church both inside and out. Free to visit and very close to both the university as well as the Union Garden and the Juarez theater. Definitely a must.

This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful cathedrals in Mexico.

Fascinating church! Unfortunately the church without a 10 minutes rest they have mass or religious activities…. So it’s not easy to feel free for a 5 minutes and enjoy this magnificent church!!! 😱😇

Some parts of the church are under restoration or closed off altogether but a section on the side is used as a museum.

Beautiful church and it is big. You must see it

Amazing place.... The church is entirely made with gold and mines are right next to it... Pretty close from the center and if u like silver they have great quality and great prices compared to other states I have been... Everything in that town seems genuinely nice!!!! Loved it all... I thought I was in Europe.

Very nice church as usual of Mexico

Beautiful architecture and history. Climb the top of the terrace and you'll be rewarded with a wonderful view of the city. The steps leading up to the entrance is a great photo opportunities. If you are visiting, this place is a must stop and see.

Way too many people and very crowded. Sat there with friends in twilight, but the light from front building was too bright and destroyed the ambience.

Gorgeous building and architecture

Nice stairs to go up and see all the city from up there

You probably won't find another University as beautiful as this one, take to the steps and enjoy the view!

This is a beautiful building. Well worth hunting around Guanajuato to find. It's especially beautiful to see at night because it's beautifully illuminated.

The public observatory on the roof terrace is a fantastic facility. The astronomers are friendly and very informative. Take a tour around the galaxy, through the excellent telescopes, you won't be disappointed. A must visit and also free!

We were fortunate enough to catch the Bafug dance show here. The performance by the university dancers was awesome. The theater itself is breathtaking and not be missed. It makes sense to try to catch a show since it's not much more than paying just to see the theater.

You simply can't ignore it! This is the main attraction in town! Beautiful historical and inspiring. Insure to get in side and to enjoy edgeless grandiose.

Beautiful theater, Arab, neoclassical and mariscos style build from 1873 to the imagination date in 1903!!! Spectacular! A place that you MUST visit!! Loved it!!

Center of town. Classical architecture exterior and Moorish interior. Get tickets day prior to performance in alley on side of building leading to funicular. Cash only. Long wait for tickets and to enter theatre.

The theater is beautiful and performances were awesome, but there is not air conditioning inside the theater. Even though Guanajuato weather was in the 50s, the theater inside was too warm in mezzanine area. Leg room was pretty bad too if you are at least 5’ 9”. If you are taller than that, maybe stick to ground floor where it looked like one has more leg room. We left at intermission because the leg room was uncomfortable in mezzanine seats. We were on section P1-06, seats P6-3 and P6-4.

Love sitting in the concert hall & admiring the ornate interior of this magnificent theater. University of Guanajuato Symphony Orchestra is always great.

Teatro Juárez is an absolute architectural gem and a must-visit in Guanajuato! The stunning design alone is worth the trip, but the experience gets even better with its affordable prices—such a refreshing contrast to what you’d pay in the U.S. The symphonic orchestra here is phenomenal, blending incredibly gifted local and international musicians into a performance that’s pure magic. I opted for general entrance and scored an amazing balcony seat right near the orchestra—some of the best views in the house! This is hands-down a top destination and an unmissable experience in Guanajuato. Five stars all the way!

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen till this day. Had to fly my drone to see the beauty from up in the air. Inside was even better but have in mind it is a church so be respectful.

This basilica is very beautiful, regardless you are religious or not it should be visited.( Please be respectful to the people who come there for payers) . A lot happening around it day and night . One of the most photographed landmarks in Guanajuato

Start your visit here at the Basilica, do a little research before you arrive. This is what lots of money can do when you have it along with devote faith. The entire city is riddled with Catholic churches, this is by far the largest and most impressive. The Pope even agreed when he elevated its status to Basilica.

Amazing decor. Very well maintained. Beautiful art.

A beautiful yellow colors that stands out apart from the rest of the city. On the tour we learned the Europeans have them the Virgen Mary and the miners donated the stand she is on. There is preserved body I didn’t get too close to read on it

Located in a great part of the city, I recommend stopping here for a Daily Mass or a Holy Hour if you have a chance! There is definitely a European influence on the surrounding architecture. Many outdoor restaurants nearby to grab a quick meal and relax.

Highly recommend to visit! There’s beautiful services!

Stairs stairs stairs everywhere. Please be advised if you have lower extremity problems. Otherwise this is the best view of the city. Its breathtaking. And dont pass up the local food and snacks being offered at the top by the locals. DELICIOUS! If you are fit and decide to opt out of the lift car (either up or back down), my husband climbed the stairs and said it took him 5-10 min. He was winded but he said it wasnt bad.

I especially love visiting here in the late afternoon, sitting atop the hill with a gentle evening breeze, watching the old town bathed in the colorful glow of the sunset. The whole atmosphere is peaceful and romantic—perfect for relaxing and taking photos!

It has a beautiful view of the city. We went during the day, but can imagine how beautiful it must look at night. It's very cold, so make sure to go in warm clothes.

Two options to go here : funicular ride or the stairs. The hike is tiring but great things to see too. I go up with stairs and go down with funicular. The funicular cost 40 peso and stairs are free. Nice view from th platform. Big statue of pipila on top of the hill. Some shops nearby and also toilet is nearby.

Great spot and a delightful view of El Centro, the downtown city center and the river of commerce that flows through its base. You can see a big chunk of this historic city from here but certainly not the whole thing, you need to visit La Buffa to see it all and that's a hike, like an actual hike with a bit of amateur rock climbing required. Bring a hiking stick if you go up there, it's like a third leg. But back to Pipila. There is a short funicular ride up for $40MX pesos. A steal compared to the heart attack you might have trying to take the path and steps which are not marked well, if at all. It doesn't look very far away or up and maybe technically it isn't but you aren't walking a ladder up to it so it's a pretty circuitous route. I recommend hitching a ride up on said funicular and then walking down from there. Behave like water here and you will never be lost. Just keep going downhill until you can't and you will be at the basin of the river of commerce and everything leads from there. Behave opposite of water and you will find little treasures off the beaten path. Better food and charming shops. You cannot get lost because if you don't know where you are you only need behave like water and soon enough you'll splash into the river of commerce again. This place was built up by geological forces and carved out by millennia of floods and monsoon rains. Don't fight it. Get lost. Be water. Be found. Find a bench. Find yourself.

It's a must-visit place when you come to Guanajuato. There is a cable car, but if you can walk, I recommend following the route signs from near Union Garden

Awesome view of the City, with great scenery. Good to hang out and have some food or a refreshing drink.

The city built during the 17 and 18 hundreds has its own version of Romero and Juliet. This is were the lovers were able to kiss across the alley because their balconies almost touched. It a must see but slightly over rated.

What an experience!!! Very clean very beautiful and the tradition was very well explained

Funny tourist attraction, but why not while you're here!

This is the most famous alleyway in the city with a tragic story behind it. If you visit I recommend you include this in your interary. Especially love birds 🐦

Great place, to many tourists! Lots a walking bring your good legs and comfy shoes. If you have bad hips and knees, definitely this is not the place for you.

We had a great experience here. Do some homework first and you'll enjoy the experience. Knowing the legend beforehand we and having seen pics we just wanted a photo but over the festival weekend it had hundreds of people in line. We asked before and were told it was mxn $50 to get on the balcony. We deduced immediately this would be mxn $50 each since we would each go to separate balconies. The guy telling the legend and taking pictures with your phone/camera does it for tips and he does it well and takes many great pictures. The fun for us was in the crowd, both watching them as well as having them cheer as we kissed and cheering as they kiss. It was really a great festive environment. If crowded or on the weekends they open the balcony at noon. Just show up a few minutes early and you shouldn't have to wait. It's likely not crowded during the week or when large events aren't going on.

A lot of history I loved it very clean town. The Museum of Las momias is small. I did a tour for $300 pesos.

Solid medium size museum covering a lot of Mexican history. Most signs Spanich only so using translator app is necessary. Entry fee is 80 pesos. Visited Sunday mid-day, no wait & not crowded.

Excellent regional history museum. A solid focus on the war for independence but a lot of general info about the Guanajuato area including the pre-hispanic era

Good museum to learn about the history of the area and they also have some modern exhibits as well. Note - you can't bring in your backpack and will have to check it in at the front. You also can't bring in your camera (but phone pictures are okay).

It is very sad about history , but we learn a lot from them

A beautiful collection of artifacts and historical items in an important historic building. I especially enjoyed the murals. I wish I had had more time, but I only have 45 minutes because they were closing early on Thursday of Semana Santa. I would definitely have spent more time.

Beautiful place for all the historic events related to it and it is amazing to be able to attend a music concert in it.

Really disappointing. Almost zero English information. After all the hype about this museum, I was really disappointed. I love history, and I have been to dozens of museums, but with my very limited Spanglish, there was little of the information that I could follow. Given that there are about 30M English-speaking visitors to Mexico each year, and Guanajuato’s reputation as the most beautiful city in the country, I assume that there would be at least a few million of those tourists visiting this city every year. Yet we only saw one piece of English anywhere. The chronological histories displayed looked very good, but we could only guess as to the actual events happening. Photos of the building being used as a prison, and other events were very interesting. The murals in the stairwells were quite striking; very different to others I have seen. The pre-Hispanic era info looked informative, as did the Messi-America displays, the pottery etc, but there is plenty of this in other museums that many people may have seen elsewhere. The memorials to various Mexican historical figures downstairs were impressive but had little to do directly with the history of the location.

I was surprised by this museum! 😱 There were so many different mummies. And some bad stories, too! They have the YOUNGEST mummy in the world, a 6-month old fetus mummy! 😱 And the stories are in English & Spanish! 🙏🏼 I wish there were English tours available. Or headset to listen to stories... Or QR codes to read more about the stories.. that would be nice.. No bathrooms inside 😔 Pay bathrooms outside.

Now you see kids, this is what happens when you don't pay your bills! Pretty interesting but pretty creepy too. Beats the Egyptian mummy museums hands down. We were there in mid-May and walked there from the funicular. A long hill on the last part but not bad.

I loved this mummy—honestly, it fascinated me on so many levels. When I first walked into the museum, there was a noticeable scent. Not a creepy or unpleasant one, but something strangely familiar… earthy, maybe? It felt like the scent of time itself. What the staff didn’t mention was that my 106-peso ticket only allowed access to the basic exhibit. I didn’t realize this until I was about to leave and noticed there were other areas I couldn’t enter. That part was a bit disappointing—so make sure you buy the full ticket if you go. The tour guides spoke only Spanish, so I didn’t understand much at the time. But once I got home and did my research, everything clicked. These mummies are completely natural. No embalming. No rituals. They were discovered when the government exhumed bodies due to unpaid burial taxes—and shockingly, many were perfectly preserved by the dry conditions and the unique soil. The first mummy ever found was a priest, which is why he’s quite famous here. But the most heart-wrenching and iconic is the six-month-old baby mummy. The baby was found still in its mother’s arms—most likely both died during childbirth. That image really stuck with me. What struck me most was how this baby, who would’ve been seen as a symbol of the divine, ended up buried without breath, sealed in sawdust, only to survive time as a mummy. It’s philosophical. It’s poetic. And no, it’s not scary at all. These mummies are oddly endearing. Almost gentle in the way they speak to mortality. Later, while walking through the local market, I saw some sweet potatoes and tree roots in the same earthy tones as the mummies. Everything started to feel connected—like nature, death, time, and even snacks are speaking in the same color palette. Wild, right? So if you’re visiting Guanajuato: 💀 Don’t skip the mummy museum. 🎟️ Buy the full ticket. 📚 Read up afterward if you don’t speak Spanish. 😌 And if you’re scared—honestly, don’t be. These mummies aren’t scary. They’re full of stories and quiet wisdom. If you’re too afraid… maybe it’s best not to come. But if you’re curious, it’s absolutely worth it.

Glad I read the reviews beforehand so I knew what to expect. GO DIRECTLY TO THE MUSEUM PARKING. Be prepared to pay extra if using a card. Went in the morning. Hardly anyone was there besides random people (4+) trying AGRESSEVELY to hawk super inflated items in the parking lot. The exhibits were nice enough, but not very informative. Maybe 15 of the mummies actually had an explanation of their origins. Didn't pay extra for the fancier exhibits though. The gift shop had a decent selection, but also inflated prices. $230 pesos for a T shirt when other vendors are selling for around $150. All in all if you're in the area it's a fine museum, but I wouldn't make this the sole reason to visit GTO.

Arrived around 2pm on a Sunday. Waited for ticket and entry for about 45 minutes. 120 pesos for the main exhibit and the extra room. They bring you in in groups, but they don't pay attention to how many people have left before letting more people in, so the museum gets so packed that you literally cannot walk to see the exhibits until your group moves to the next room. By the time your group moves to the next room, the group or 2 behind you are already filling up that room so it's packed again. I think this was because my group was offered a free guide, so they stayed in each room longer to listen to his information. But I wanted to also see the mummies, so I eventually waited for my group to go a few rooms ahead and by the time I was maybe 3 or 4 groups behind and the guide was nowhere in sight, finally there was room to walk and see the mummies. Very bad organization! The mummies themselves are cool and the extra room was nice and quicker to walk through without the crowds. Took about 45 minutes to walk through the entire museum, with being stuck waiting for the crowds to move for 5+ minutes in each room. I think if you go earlier or maybe on a weekday, you'd have less chance of a crowd. I also think being in a group with a free guide was not good with such a large group.

The most expensive museum I visited in Guanajuato and the most interesting/disappointing as well. When you enter the first room, it is very cool seeing the mummies and how well preserved they are and learning about how some of them died. Then you walk into another room...and same thing. Then another room with the same. Then another room with the same....you get the idea... Also they say to try and be quiet but the tour guy is shouting loudly and people are talking on the phones etc. Bottom line - interesting but basic exhibit and poorly organized. Tickets were 106 pesos for adults.

First time visiting. Very interesting. Worth the trip. A long line on Sunday, super crowded and a long wait to purchase tickets and enter. Group tours led by a guide. Too many people to fit in each salon and it was hard to hear the guide. Also, as a non native speaker it was extremely difficult to understand all the complex aspects of the tour/museum/mummies. However it was still very interesting and memorable.

The place was clean, and the view was more generous and beautiful than I remembered. It's definitely one of the best things to do in Guanajuato. Any Christian should experience this beautiful and peaceful place. I was also able to experience authentic, freshly made food from one of the original fogones in this place. I dare you to try this place. I don't know if I was hungry or the fresh hand made tortillas on the fogon with the pork ribs chile and the frijoles de oya and nopalitos was to die for. The fresh purple water made with hibiscus(jamaica) was amazingly refreshing. Talk about lunch and a view for 3 for the amazing cost of $400, pesos less than $25 American dollars. Amazing!!

Great drive up ths mountain and very impressive site once there.

If you are in the area and like figures of Chris, this is a must see if you are in the area just like the more famous one in Brazil.just be prepared for the ride up the mountain. About a 30 to 40 minute ride.

Very beautiful views worth getting up there. Limited things to do but it’s a great place to pray/read and eat around the small restaurants on the hill. If you get altitude sickness or are afraid of heights... maybe this isn’t for you 😂

Before coming to this place by car, make sure to check car coolant and air pressure on the tire. The road is 20-30 minutes uphill and road is bumpy as hell. I saw two cars overheating and there is no auto shop of any kind around. There is parking space on top but you may need to wait until space is open during holidays. Saw some people riding bicycle up the hill and that is both difficult going up and down as road surface is rough. Once you are on the top, 360 Deg. view of all surround area is possible, what a magnificent view from the top. It is worth going up no matter what method you take. Saw many number plates from very far places.

Such a beautiful place to come and see. All the surrounding around the Shrine are breath taking. Its located on the very top of a mountain as seen in the people below. Come pray, read, little shop for your religious needs and memories for your visit. A lot of people have devotional faith and come to pray and or give thanks. Took drone video and photos. Didn't try the small restaurants for the yummy food that smelled delicious but It's a must see. Very safe atmosphere.

They need more transportation to the top of the hill, or the bus drivers don't do their job.. 😞

I loved it. Very big shopping center. Food court is OK

Great shopping centre

Nice mall here in Irapuato. I purchased a prepaid cellphone here on the Telcel store. The only thing I don't like is that you have to pay for the parking lot, and the automated machines some times do not work.

Irapuato should have bigger malls. Cibeles has a very limited selection of stalls and brands. It's safe and convenient though for me as I live very close to the area. I oftentimes opt to shop online.

Great Mall. They have everything..great stores.. fresh food.. outstanding installations.

Nice 2 story mall with lots of shopping. Restaurants and drink vendors vary. There is a good sushi restaurant in food court that is moderately expensive by Mexico standards, but with lots of choices.

Big nice and modern shopping mall in Irapuato. Liverpool department store, and many restaurants inside. Lots of parking spaces.

Really nice mall. Great views and location. Food court was clean, but the food was horrible. We ate Chinese and threw it out.

This is just like any other mall but they do have an aquarium which is awesome. There is so many clothing stores here and food choices. I prefer the Argentine streak place put front. Also I have been told some of the stores are a bunch of fake name brand items but I have no way to confirm. If you have time to spare might as well check this out.

Love , love ,love shopping here. So many stores to choose from.

Big mall with many stores to shop all day and spend some time with the family!

Very nice mall I really enjoy the time here They have it all and you can have a great time here Nice restaurants for all different budgets

The mall is very nice. There is a good selection of stores and at the food court. It's nice that they have pet friendly zone, the aquarium, and other family areas. Wish they took off or lowered their parking fees.

We went with our little ones and they have a lot of fun at Recorcholis that is like an Arcade where they can play video games, bowling, get on some rides but only for little ones, and there is an area for children up to 80 cm like 31.4 inches or 2 ft and 7.4 inches, and since this pandemic times only allow no more that 8 kids inside that area. As the rest of the place It wasn't crowded and they sanitized quite often. So we felt pretty safe. And we went to get a meal too at Hot Wings, they only accept also a limited group of people. It has kids menu. The food was good and beer was cold and the waiter was nice and efficient. We took our stroller but I think they need someone who watches the elevator, sometimes, we needed to wait longer to use the elevator because some people didn't wanted to use the electrical stairs and they seemed to be perfect to get on the electrical stairs. Now they allow to pregnant and little kids to go inside the mall only using mask face and it is mandatory and they will put you antibacterial gel. So I hope next time I will visit, the elevator has some vigilant that watches peoples like pregnant women, elderly and wheelchair users as well families with strollers are using the elevator instead of strong people who can use the electrical stairs. As the rest of the mall, they sanitize often and they offer antibacterial gel almost everywhere. So feel safe but If is too crowded better don't stay to long as we did. Be safe!

Beautiful clean, get the tickets for the safari, it is totally worth it

As our first visit, it was great. We were here on Sunday and there were a lot of locals. It's not just a zoo but a park as well. They had construction everywhere, but that didn't seem to stop the locals from enjoying the day.

This zoo is incredible! Really well maintained and very large. We came at a weird time, early during the day on Halloween - so everything seem to be prepared for a Halloween haint experience and even without going for that it was still awesome! Highly recommend visiting! I er can be tricky to get out to the zoo....so plan Accordingly when you want to leave.

Great zoo for a first timer! Took our 6 year old here while in Leon for a fútbol tournament. It was his first time and it was a great option. The zoo is not too large or too small. It was a good 3-4 hrs of walking around and taking our time. The animal exhibits are small and the animals weren’t very active but our son had a fun time seeing them up close. The safari ride was fun but not worth the purchase of the package, the package did NOT include everything. Still had to purchase experiences throughout the park. The do not sell anything but soda and water. Tacos near the giraffes are AMAZING!!!!!

Nice family place. No where does it have a smooth walkway for handicapped folks to navigate on thier own. Lines were long but went quick. You pay for parking. There are no ATMs close by. You can purchase tickets with a credit ir debit card.

Needs to be taken care of and redeveloped. The cages were too small (the racoon alone in literally a box broke my heart) especially considering that there is so much space left unused or dedicated to pic-nics and games. The priority for a zoo should be giving animales care and space, not giving people a random park to eat out. The place seemed pretty dirty and old as well... which is a shame because they have beautiful and rare species (tigers were amazing). It really needs maintenance and a plan to rebuild and distribute space better. Please, visit it and pay your tickets, they really need contribution to redevelop things and invest in serious care, cleaning and restoring spaces. I beg the administration of the park to think of the animals first! Children can go pic-nicking somewhere else; families can go play somewhere else... they have a choice; the animals you keep do not have a choice. Please, give them more space.

This was an amazing zoo! I was a bit bummed out because you can’t walk through and have to drive through because of COVID-19. But it was actually a pretty cool way to see the zoo and we all agree we will be going back!

Really enjoyed an insight into the history and culture of Guanajuato. This is a beautiful building housing some great artwork and a great walk through history.

Very interesting. Parts are very well done. Relied on my wife for translation. With today's technology, translation of displays is very easy but that is not frequently available here, just a few displays, hence 4 stars. The history in 1800's was particularly well done, period by period as it is an important period for the area and of course Mexico as a whole.

To be fair, they were in transition when we visited so only a couple of small, permanent collections were open at the time we were there. I would like to visit again when they have more on display. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Incredible museum to visit! Highly recommend making a trip to see this museum for the historical aspect as well as the artistical. Everything is in Spanish but maybe ask if they have audio tours in English, or use the Google translate photo app to translate to English. We went on a Sunday before heading over to a Leon soccer match. The museum was free and the stadium is right next door. Made for a great Sunday.

I had a great time visiting the Museo de Arte e Historia. There were some nice pieces of sculptures on display in the museum. I would recommend to visit this museum if you are in León.

You got few things to see it takes not more than 30-60 minutes to cover the whole. Sunday is free entry.

This museum impressed me for GOOD I saw a vast collection of paints and prints from David Alfaro Siqueiros, also around the museum are a lot of great places to eat, as a City from the center of Mexico Leon offers a world class theater as well

Like all other reviewers have stated the abundance of leather goods is HUGE! From national products to China based products. You will need to shop around to get a good deal but it seemed like most places have their prices set for wholesales vs , individual sales. Most places accept cash and will give you about a 10% discount for paying cash. Make sure you go with time to look as it can be overwhelming. Places usually open between 10 and 11. Some places are friendlier than others.

So fun to walk through many city blocks of store after store! (Walk back in more for better deals,, and bargain for a discount). All kinds of cheap shoes, some nice leather boots, bags and coats, luggage, belts, hats, some clothes. The shoe deals are fantastic! Buy an extra bag and take home handstiched cowboy boots or purses! (For less than $100.00) Safe area during the day, but gets very crowded. Right across from the main bus station

The place to buy all goods in leather for a great price. Some are wholesale and have a minimum number you must buy. Bring cash and barter the price.

Fantastic selection and great prices. Also a few places to sit for bored husbands

You can find good quality products at a very affordable prices.

You get good leather items there. You need to bargain a lot.

Anything leather, this is he place! Incredible prices too.

Very beautiful place to visit. It's clean and great choices of food all around.

Beautiful landmark, with a beautiful walkway to visit during the day or night. Lots of stores, restaurants and bars around.

A wonderful monument in city center of Leon, Guanajuato. Symbolizing the wonderful city of its own. With restaurants and bar all around, also enjoy a ice cream or simply the people walking around.

Nice plaza to walk - there are very.ndora in the park adjacent... Further down opposite direction there is a really good japone restaurante (Eiki)... Also among the street vendors there is a massage therapist... Try him out; nice looking Leon atop the triomphe

Nice place to take a walk.. also great food and stand's to buy things..Artesania Mexicana..

You can't go visit Leon and not visit this area. There's enough restaurants and bars to have a good time. I really enjoyed the might life and if you are looking for great tacos de tripitas right next to templo Espitorio there's a bomb taquero 😋

It's a monument that represent the entrance to the city way back on those days. Today if you visiting Leon GTO you have to go a take a little walk and take some pictures for the remember

This church is just amazing! The architecture is astounding. The acustics is very good, you can hear someone talking in front of the church all the way to the back. This is a must see for anyone. And behind the church is the catacombes, spooky and historical check that out.

Beautiful church and historical monument.

Beautiful colors. We checked out the crypts under the church.it does close during the and opens back up. I think it was 20 pesos to go in. The bathroom is behind the church.

Beautiful piece of art all around. Close to many other museums and historical buildings!

It is a very beautiful place that you must visit in Leon!! And if you have a chance to go inside, DO IT! It is even more beautiful. When I was there I felt I could breathe freshy peacefulness air. Very nice place to sit down, relax and enjoy the atmosphere.

What can I say?... It’s beautiful! The architecture and design of this antique treasure is delightful to the eye. And, I find really awesome that it has a big space to walk around and take great photos. If you like renaissance a-like places, you will love this place. I think this is the right and first location you should visit when starting your tour in León, Guanajuato, not only due to it’s greatness, but also because you can rent a bicycle from there and, with an app, you’ll be guided through the city for an hour. A nice thing.

Such a gorgeous church, inside and out. Great atmosphere. If you haven’t gone inside the church or never visited it, I highly recommend you do that.
