Place is amazing. There is a secret tour that shows you some alien faces and non-replica pieces carved into stone you got to figure it out though. Hot weather and worth to try the guided tour. Very pleasant and magical place.

Such an amazing site! The highlight of my trip to Mexico! It is the rainy season so everything is lush and green. Fascinating history and palpable energy. Reasonable drive from Guadalajara. My guide was fantastic! Be sure to look for obsidian pieces from the nearby volcano. Highly recommended!

Just visited the incredible Guachimontones archaeological site near Teuchitlán, Jalisco! These circular pyramids are unlike anything else in Mexico and a truly amazing sight to behold, sitting at the base of the majestic Tequila volcano. It's wild to think that the people who built this place lived here long before the lifetime of Jesus Christ. Highly recommend this for any history or architecture lover! #Guachimontones #Jalisco #Archaeology #Mexico #TequilaVolcano #AncientHistory

This site was amazing. Get a guide who knows the area to take you on a tour. You have to arrange this ahead of time but if you ask enough people you'll be able to find someone. Our guide worked in excavation at the site for 20+ years so he knew what made it special and he shared culturally significant information. The museum was good but we definitely got to see the inside works by having a guide. Tip: if you're not in decent shape, or if you're traveling with young children or older adults, ask at the museum about getting a ride to the site. It's not a long walk but it's very steep, there's no shade, and nowhere to sit down.

Very Interesting, our tour person Chava was awesome, very knowledgeable. The video presentation and the museum explanation was very well explained a great place to visit

Arrived Saturday at 4pm and it was plenty of time to explore. $30MX per adult. There are very clean bathroom facilities by the parking and an air conditioned museum that presents a 15 minute documentary. Highly recommend to go in the museum before walking to the pyramids. There is a 15 minute incline walk up to the pyramids, be warned. Wear comfortable shoes and depending on the time of day it can get really hot. It was very interesting and it deserves a visit.

What an amazing place. I was not aware of round pyramids until now! Get a guide and plan on 3 hours. PLUS, as seniors, we did not pay admission. Highly recommend.

Husband and I just had a massage from David and Martha. We did the full body massages for $850.00 pesos. It was amazing. They came to us which was also a plus! I would recommend them and definitely use their srvices again! Thanks again for the professionalism and the prompt response when booking.

I had an incredible experience getting massaged here! Not only did he do an excellent massage with scented oils, but he did some other kind of reiki healing and I felt amazing for two days afterward. He also has a special back cracking maneuver that is incredible. Truly excellent massage! Well worth the price! Go here!

Best massages ever by David.

Not only are they great at the art of Massage but very knowledgeable about total body physics.

Instant service, average massage, really high price.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and response time. They have service from Monday to Wednesday in Guadalajara and on the weekend they serve in Chapala. Super recommended David, very good massage!!! (Original) Excelente servicio y tiempo de respuesta. Tienen servicio de lunes a miércoles en Guadalajara y el fin de semana atienden en Chapala. Súper recomendado David muy buen masaje!!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent service, every time I am in Ajijic I will assist me Either to the boardwalk or to your cabin (Original) Excelente servicio, cada que estiy en ajijic voy a atenderme Ya sea al malecón o a su cabina

A truly beautiful tequila distillery nestled in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tequila. The tour we joined was incredibly informative, offering a clear understanding of the tequila distilling process, and we got to taste a variety of tequilas, which was a fantastic highlight.

We spent 4 hours at the Jose Cuervo distillery learning all about the distilling process, tasting different tequilas, learning how to drink tequila, blending our own tequila and, finally, lunch. Alfredo, our guide, also took us through Jose Cuervo's and tequila's history as well as the controls around the whole agave and tequila production process. A really good tour.

Brilliant! 100% don't miss!! So many sites on the internet say this place is only open certain days. If the review you read is more than 5 minutes old l, forget it. This town is evolving and distilleries like this are pretty much open everyday. Just show up and ask for a tour. I have been to Mexico about 20 times and my favorite thing is to visit small unique towns. Tequila is an incredible place if you want authentic Mexican culture, food, kind people, and good vibes. But this town has one extra thing, tequila!!! La Rojeña is where the José Cuervo magic happens. The tour is completely informative, explaining the tequila making process in detail, and at the end (if you pay the extra pesos for the tasting package, a MUST in my opinion) you get a view into tequila flavors and nuance that I never knew existed! Trust me, stop reading this review and just go there! The tasting at the end is amazing! It was absolutely brilliant! Our guide (sorry, can't remember her name) was perfect. At each stop, though the factory is loud, she had a mic connected to Bose speakers so you could hear every word (I did the English speaking tour). At the end you can buy special made tequilas at factory prices. Absolutely no pressure to buy, but a good deal all the same! I am fairly cynical when it comes to touristy things, this is a 100% don't miss!!!

Fun and informative tours! We did the classic plus the extra tasting. Our guide spoke great English, was incredibly knowledgeable, and fun to spend an hour with. You get to see quite a bit of the factory and drink 3 strong shots before even starting the tasting so be prepared to consume a good amount of tequila. Would recommend to a friend.

If you enjoy drinking low-quality, industrial tequila loaded with artificial additives, then this is the place for you! Otherwise, I strongly recommend visiting La Fortaleza, Cascahuín, or Casa Atanasio, just a few of the family-owned distilleries that still honor the true tradition of tequila making.

From the video at the beginning of the tour to the tasting at the end this experience was well worth the 400+ pesos we spent. Our guide was amazing! The tequila was palate changing. Would go again in a heart beat.

We were drawn in by the huge bird sculpture in the courtyard, but stayed for the excellent tour and tasting. Don't miss the Tradicional Añejo ... They only sell it here!

Beautiful malecon but there was graffiti on the light house. Such a shame. The street market and beautiful statues and architecture were lovely. We had a nice couple of hours here.

Amazing place. Very clean streets. Good people. Very good place to relax. Beautiful lake.

My wife and I had a wonderful day lunch and some shopping. Definitely. A place to visit when you're in Jalisco. If you haven't been here, I will recommend adding it to your list. We were here for the day of the dead.

GREAT PLACE TO VISIT WITH THE FAMILY, FOOD IS GOOD, TAKE IN MIND WEEKENDS ARE SO CROWDED, IN TRAFFIC TO HEAVY, AND HARD TO GET FREE PARKING

Lovely place for a nice walk along the Lake Chapals

Beautiful place visted scorpion island took the boat and it there, people is amazing

Beautiful place to visit with your family, and friends, or by yourself.

Beautiful beautiful place! The architecture is amazing and the church is just breathtaking! I definitely recommend just coming and sitting down and enjoying the amazing calm vibes.

Beautiful church, open and quite. I always think.church should be open to every one, and this is. Offer great arts and historical construction as well. Many Mexicanas are getting married every weekends as well, and local markets are being held at night. Valuable place for Guadalajara. I personally liked it better than the one in Firenze in terms of the functionality as.a church.

Such a beautiful church. Do yourself a favor and assure you come here. If you can talk your way into the catacombs downstairs too, it will make an experience you won't soon forget. If you can't, I've added lots of photos. There is a small show outside when the hours turn. Make time to peruse the surrounding areas. It is good manners to assure you leave a donation before you depart.

Another example of amazing architecture. Take some time to visit and maybe sit inside for a bit to experience the peaceful vibes.

Beautiful church. Photos speak for themselves. Definitely a must see if in the area.

A truly incredible church inside and out. A place worth of an epic battle between Batman & the Joker.

This church is very beautiful and architecture is stunning, from outside its incredible and going inside it just mesmerizing. Each hour there are figurines coming out from one of the towers and doing its own thing, so fun to watch and notice it. Every detail is just incredibly stunning

An amalgamation of architectural styles with much history relative to most buildings in the Americas. The icons in the cathedral are sometimes more bloody in depiction than other churches I have visited. Greater emphasis on Mary in churches and cathedrals here, congruent with the attempt to overlay pagan deities with saints and Holy Mothers. There is another separate church attached. This part of the city is very walkable and Guadalajara’s devotion to the arts is admirable

Catedral Basílica de la Asunción de María Santísima remains central to Guadalajara where it has stood since the 17th century. Still architecturally stunning despite fires, age and earthquakes the capitol's center of worship is a must-see from the detailed pulpit to crypts below. Home to the relics of St. Innocent, expect large crowds during times of worship.

It's a large and imposing building that I wouldn't exactly call beautiful. The architecture seems eclectic, and the towers seem out of place withe rest of the building there are quite a few beggars and questionable characters hanging out in front of the church. Other than that, a nice edifice, just not the nicest.

Went on a Saturday morning. Inside amazing architecture and prolific art. Took pictures with local photographer vendor outside to catch professional photographs. He knew where to stand and get the best angles.

A beautiful place to visit in the middle of guadalajara. The Basilica is mesmerizing and the vibe of the place is calming and very chill must visit

Must see while visiting Guadalajara. Nice square beautiful church and lots of carriage rides around also tour buses leave from the square.

This is a symbol of Guadalajara, so if you want to take photos, it's best to come early in the morning📷

The teatro Degollado is a mid-19 century jewel built in 1856-1866. It has gone through many renovation throughout the century. It was originally called teatro Alarcón, in honor of the classical playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. After the Reform wars(1857-1861) the governor Pedro Ogazon changed the name to Santos Degollado,former governor and general who died in battle in 1861. Most of the renovations of the theater were done to improve the interior design and reinforce the roof of the building. Between 1953-1959 artist Roberto Montenegro designed and crafted the mosaic of Apollo and the Nine Muses on the theaters pediment. 16 Corinthian columns support the pediment. The theater is now home of the Jalisco Philharmonic and the place of high artistic performances. Book your private tours of Guadalajara with me! And let’s explore Guadalajara together!

I didn’t went in, but the location is beautiful and that building is breathtaking from the outside! That’s definitely somewhere/an area I’d like to spend more time in. It felt very secure, and it’s located in the middle of the city.

Lovely to watch mariachi play with Jalisco Symphany Orchestra. Looked full on Saturday night. Such a beautiful old theater. Staff was helpful & attentive.

This place is well worth the price of admission and more, will definitely be coming more often. The center of the bowl seems to have the best views of the entire orchestra except maybe the front floor seats.

Stunning! We were able to go inside on a Tuesday when there wasn’t a show going on. It was magical to sit inside and take in the beauty of the space. We could also hear someone practicing for opera backstage. Wow

Amazing experience loved every minute of it brought tears to my eyes

A beautiful piece of architecture and art in GDL, a true jewel. This is a neoclassical theater located in the plaza center, stunning! This is most definitely a must visit while visiting or living in GDL! A 19th century architectural masterpiece, opened in 1866. 👍👍

A mixed bag. Tickets are affordable and available, there is hardly a line to enter the place. The interior houses a few photo galleries, with rotating expositions, and not much else. The central building with it's high vaulted ceilings and frescoes is the main attraction. It is peaceful though and at times you will find yourself alone in this huge complex.

Return visit a decade plus later and the Orozco murals still impress. Beautiful location and peaceful hideaway from the bustling crowds. Bonus: Tuesday entry was free so you can donate more to charity

Really dont like rating so low but besides the history of the building there are few unimpressive exhibits. Orozco murals are good, if cost was lower perhaps 2 stars. Didn't understand massive historical building, nice courtyards, yet so little to see for 110 pesos. Was a large group of important people back of building closed off didnt help the experience.

A must visit place in Guadalajara. With it's long history as an hospice and culture space this colonial jem helds different contemporary art exhibitions and one of the mos extraordinary murales in México. You could easily spend 2 or 3 hours walking around the different galleries. A visit to the museum store is also recommended.

Worth visiting. They even allow you to lie down on the chair and watch the magnificent drawings. Most freely enjoyable museum i have ever been

At the Hospicio Cabañas in Guadalajara, which is very beautiful, and of course the murals are the highlight of the place. In addition, there is a person who narrates in detail the history and meaning of the murals.

Brought family here for the tour which they offer in Spanish and English. Vladimir was our guide and did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

This place is huge. Nicely kept. It has a nice aquarium, a sky lift, and a vet center. Lions. Tiger. Elephants. Penguins. Hippos. Rhinos. And the restrooms are clean.🙂 My only negative is that the Raspado stands were closed. 😓

One of the best zoo’s I have visited so far, after USA, Canada and India. So many variety of animals and birds. Definitely a must see when you are in Guadalajara.

It was a very enjoyable experience. Definitely need to have great walking shoes and cash since the majority of the vendors if not all only take cash. Lots of activities for the littles.

I Loved it. Highly recommend. Very educational. Prices are very affordable. The zoo is very complete, it has nimal interactions, an aquarium, and so much more!!!

Best zoo ever! It has a safari experience, a lifting chair and train ride that takes you around the zoo. I loved that it's very clean and has beautiful scenery everywhere you look. If you miss the hours to feed the bigger animals, you can go to the deers section and feed those instead. They are not encaptured and roaming wildly free. This zoo also has a farm area, where you can see, feed, brush, and pet horses and goats. It is a very big zoo, so plan on spending the whole day there, especially if you are walking through it all. I enjoyed that we went on a weekday avoiding the busy crowds. I was very impressed and my child loved it too! We can't wait to go back!

Zoo was big and pretty the ride that takes you above the animals was really cool and so was the safari ride! If you love animals you should really check it out

Beautiful place, many different animals, the activities are very cool. The only bad thing it's that the food is expensive

Beautiful place to visit day and night. Lots of venders during the day just be careful they will try to push products on you sometimes, but besides that it was great. Plenty of delicious food and drinks nearby. There are no free bathrooms so keep some coins on you, prices vary but a few 5-10peso coins should be enough. They do give bare minimum toilet paper also so bring some extra with you. At night most of the shops selling items close but the food stands and restaurants stay open. It’s so beautiful at night and families generally are still there hanging out . Honestly it’s a beautiful place that you must experience yourself

Beautiful church, the place is very clean and you can get holly water at the entrance no cost just donations All place around is nice to buy souvenir or clothes or jewelry

We had the the immense pleasure of attending Mass on a special day. The energy and spirit in that Mass rivals many holy sites around the globe. It was amazing. Something that we won’t forget any time soon.

Beautiful family memories! If you visit the cathedral, you should buy some of the typical candies from San Juan de los Lagos too.

It's a very beautiful place to visit. Lots of vendors outside the church selling all kinds of stuff both retail and wholesale. Make sure to try the cajetas with tequila

The cathedral is so beautiful, magical, every detail is amazing! There are so many people all the time, I’d recommend coming in the morning.

I have been here before. If you're Mexican and Catholic and you believe in la Virgen de San Juan de Los Lagos, you know what this church means to us. My mother taught me to believe in la virgen. I had to go and pay my respects to her. It was a beautiful day, and the church wasn't crowded. It made it that much more special. My 10 year old grandson loved the church.

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.

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

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!

Very beautiful plant life, a lot of birds and even a squirrel or two, got to visit during Feria de San Marcos, so it was packed, but it was a very enriching experience.

Good sized enclosed park, full of tall green, beautiful, luscious trees and plants of all kinds. Very unique place to listen to birds, see squirrels waking around, listen to relaxing music or reading. I've seen people jog around the perimeter. You definitely have to visit at least once in your life, it's worth the journey. All around here are fancy restaurants and fast food options with some of the best desserts too! While you're here, stop at the church right in front, it's also gorgeous😊

Nice well kept park. Clean, beautiful, not big but nice.

This is a very nice garden near the center of Aguascalientes, MX. Full of trees and singing birds. At night it is beautifully lit and many activities take place. A peaceful break from the hubbub of the city.

A beautiful place to visit when you’re in Aguascalientes!

A wonderful trip back in time. Peaceful, romantic and inviting. Aguascalientes is celebrating her 443rd anniversary. This place is a must see - full of culture and beauty.

Lovely place to just sit and people watch!

Beautiful building. The area around is nice too. Lots to do.

Whether you’re there for mass or not , this is a beautiful building from the inside and the outside , you’ll be stunned by the details! It’s absolutely gorgeous from any angle.

Catholic church featuring a remarkable eclectic architectural style.

Su h a beautiful and historical structure!

One of the most beautiful churches of Aguascalientes, just after Cathedral.

This is a very beautiful church a good place for Sunday mass if you go early in the morning

Very beautiful historical church in town.

Aguascalientes railway museum. Huge area, with historic locomotives, freight & passenger cars. Restaurants, cafes, parks playgrounds. Excellent for families and kids. Highly recommend.

Plaza de las Tres Centurias is a historic and cultural space with old railway buildings, beautiful gardens, and monuments that honor Aguascalientes’ railroad heritage.

Ome of the best places to just have a chill moment and be in touch with the culture of AGS. Every Sunday you can find stands of different people selling fruits, food, and a variety of products. Is also a greater place to spend time with your familia and kids. I love that is one of the few places where you can find that many trees.

Very nice place to view old classic trains. If you take the kiddy train tour, you can learn about the location and the train they have. They also have a museum but we left a little early and didn't go inside. It's a nice relaxing place.

Probably the most photographeable spot in town. It has gorgeous buildings from an old train station complex built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This complex includes museum, park areas, fountains, fast food, real ancient trains, etc. But the place lacks of activities all around the place that engage the visitors or heritage inside its historical buildings. Anyways... This is an obligated stop in town.

Nice area to chill with family, friends, or a significant other. Weekends there are vendors where you can purchase food, trinkets, souvenirs and more.

Great place to visit, cultural, relaxing. It has a small but very interesting museum.

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 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.

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.

A beautiful, baroque cathedral at the heart of the city. If you're visiting SLP, the this is a must see destination.

Came to visit every time during Xmas and is always beautiful love the Xmas tree next to it inside of the cathedral is beautiful and nicely decorated if you are into culture and history i highly recommend to visit the whole city since it has many more places like this one 🫶

My & my husband enjoyed the short trip we made to visit this beautiful church at San Luis Potosi, Mexico. And we also got to give thanks and Praises to our Almighty Father GOD at the service. Loved the stores we got to buy what our heart desired,too.

Such a beautiful place!, piece of art as well!

When we went the holy mass wad going on. Awesome sculpture and painting of 17 th century.

Wonderful place to walk and learn some history

What a beautiful cathedral. The architecture is amazing.

This is an ok hotel in Real de Catorce, the rooms are clean, hot water, beds not very comfortable, no tv, internet very, very slow. They do not accept credit cards. This hotel is one of a few that have a garage to keep your car in, which that was the reason for me to stay in this hotel. Very close to the plaza and stores. Overall I think this hotel and town is perfect for people that wants to get away from the city and wants a little peace in their lives.

It's like going back in time hundreds of year. Real de 14 is a magical town with amazing vibes hard to leave from. If you ever come don't forget to stop by the "la esquina chata" coffee for a cup of coffee and a piece of a delicious pay. Also the small shops that sell gorditas and quesadillas in front the main plaza are a great option to grab a quick bite.

Incredible place. It is very important knowing the town's history before going there, to arrive with an open mindset.

The history is so interesting, and during holidays you can travel through it only by "carretoneros" which is such an unique experience

Is overall ok for Real de Catorce average, but Internet is very slow. Service is ok. They do not accept credit cards.

I love it, don't drive fast, enjoy the ride.

Nice experience going through, small wait because it's only one way!

Lovely Mexican hotel. Parking can be done at the central parking place nearby around the corner. Nice people, clean rooms. Enough internet. And a warm shower. I slept well.

We took a long meandering route up on top of the mountains of surrounding Real de Catorce and stopped at the Pueblo fantasma. Many beautiful old buildings now in ruins period worth of is it.

It’s a good place to get disconnected from the fast life, enjoy the scenery and guided tours. Two days is perfect.

Amazing place take a ride in a horse.

There is a tale told of a man that would doctor the minors that got sick during their mining excavations. He passed away and he becomes ordained into a saint San Francisco De Asis. A statue of him is erected and stories are told that his spirit comes out to heal the minors. Also there is a spirit woman that appears along the road but she vanishes quickly.

Beautiful scenic ruins of a 17-18th century silver mine. The horse ride to it is 30-40min, on a steep windy mountain trail.

Just go there! No doubt that it is absolutely worth it. Its magical. But you have to go explore the nature around. Pueblo fantasma and after that go up the mountain cerro grande...you will love me for that tip

I decided to book the 4 day pack. It was perfect. Amazing price (about $350). This included the hotel quinta mar (which was a great place), included the breakfast tickets to eat at the hotel (actual big plates of food, not just your low continental breakfast), also included a meal at the end of the day after every tour (every place the guides take you is amazing food), the entrance fee for every "park" you book, transportation in comfy vans with ac (they pick you up and drop you off at the hotel), and all this on top of amazing guides that's know it all. Our guides were Pepe (he went above and beyond, our favorite), Juan (went beyond and was awesome), David (amazing and super friendly), and Wilbur? (He also was great). Then the person that helped me get the process done, Tania, she was amazing and helpful through the whole process. For paying the 20% down, I just went to an oxxo and did the transfer. It was super easy and tool like 3 min. Don't feel sketch about it.

Its awesome and great place for enjoy is beautiful place, prices is good

This place is magical!! The pictures cannot do it the justice it deserves. It can get crowded, but try and find a spot where you can enjoy the incredible waterfalls, the lush scenery, and get back in touch with your spiritual side. The water is refreshingingly clear. The locals are all incredibly welcoming and friendly. Definitely try the pulque!! It is a very unique drink.

Unforgettable. A great contact with the nature.

Great staff! I ask if I could smoke a joint and they said go for it! They took care of me real good, felt safe all the time! Thanks guys!

I’m planning to visit such an amazing place like this, but I am curios if anybody speaking English?

Great place to visit and the surrounding area is amazing! Spend a few days in the area if you can and check out all the waterfalls!

My second trip to Saltillo included the Museo del Desierto. Many locals recommend this museum to visit. As an independent author in which my book project was specifically on the Chihuahuan Desert, this museum offers excellent exhibits of the Chihuahuan Desert, the largest in North America. The paleontology exhibits are very deep here and the Chihuahuan Desert is very rich in discovery of many dinosaurs and periods existing in the area. But that's just one major part of this museum. The geological exhibits here are the creme of the crop, they definitely steal the show. I have never seen a spectacular display of rocks, minerals, and precious gems. Also to note, the reptile exhibit is pretty amazing as well, every type of rattlesnake found in these southern and southwest regions are here, including Guila Monsters. Also there is a Mexican Wolves exhibit which are very rare, and endangered. Plan on spending a long time at this amazing location, it is a very large museum and has a very diverse offering of exhibits. You will not be disappointed!

This museum is amazing! So many natural history wonders, and most fossils found locally! The crystal cave exhibit was breathtaking, the mineral and gemstone section was gorgeous, the animals on display are well kept and look happy/healthy, the history of the Mexican people was well represented, you can observe cave drawings and take a step through the many eras of earth’s history, and they had many live activities to observe as well as an outdoor area with live animals as well. I really enjoyed seeing the paleontology lab. The gift shop is well stocked, there is a cactus exhibit annd nursery you can purchase from, snacks annd drinks are available to purchase, and there are many guides on staff to answer questions. It truly is a fascinating place, and everyone who visits and/or lives in Coahuila should take the time to soak in the wonders of this spectacular museum!

Fantastic Museum. Lots of geology, history, and paleontology. Displays that bring the past to life. Well worth the visit. Also a great idea of what to do with that old car 🤣

I would recommend this museum to anyone who is visiting Saltillo. Lots to see, even some reptiles and animals. They have a large display of minerals and crystals. There is also a cactus nursery where you can buy 🌵.

Absolute fantastic museum. It's quite large and shines the spotlight on the history of the earth. The biggest theme is paleontology and dinosaurs. The Coahuilaceratops was found here in the region. There's also a reptilian section with Mexican snakes, some bats, turtles, coyotes and impressive mountain goats. tough the exponats aren't described in english, some of the staff speaks it.

Very good natural history museum, lots of things to see for kids and adults. Loved the paleontology and minerals section of the museum. We had fun as a family. The parking machine is not the most reliable and useful, it only takes small Mexican bills so you’re forced to go back and get change.

Guide Raymond made this visit ultra special for us! The collection, the presentation, the AV usage are all par excellence!

(Translated by Google) An incredible experience. Good attention from the guides. The village is very well maintained. The bad thing was the safari truck that transported us from the Village to the Ponytail Hotel. It was in poor condition, the seats are not suitable for that journey (1.5 hours on an unpaved road) and the driver was going very fast. (Original) Una experiencia increíble. Buena atención de los guías. La aldea está muy bien cuidada. Lo malo fue el camión safari que nos transportó de la Aldea al Hotel cola de caballo. Estaba en mal estado, los asientos no son adecuados para ese trayecto (1.5 horas por un camino sin asfaltar) y el chófer iba muy rápido.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful place to rest as a couple, alone or in a group of friends or families. The road is very rocky, extreme and requires 4x4 and experienced 4x4 driving.

There are guides and people who provide horse transportation services. (Original) Maravilloso.lugar para descansar en parejas, solo u en grupor de amigos o familias.
