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.

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.

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!

My first pambazo!!!

(Translated by Google) Everything is very delicious, the chorizo ​​pambazos with potatoes are very delicious, and the chicharrón quesadillas too, the suadero is very delicious and the shredded meat is the same. They have a variety of soft drinks and they also sell water, the atmosphere is very good and those who serve are very friendly. Definitely going to San Miguel is also going to try these appetizers. Highly recommended!!! :) (Original) Todo muy rico, los pambazos de chorizo con papas son muy ricos, y las quesadillas de chicharrón también, el suadero está muy rico y la carne deshebrada igual. Tienen variedad de refrescos y también venden agua, el ambiente es muy bueno y los que atienden muy amables. Definitivamente ir a San Miguel es también ir a probar estos antojitos. Muy recomendable!!! :)

(Translated by Google) The best enchiladas of San Miguel de Allende... The mushroom stew is super delicious... I order it inside my enchiladas. They never fail. And the family is very friendly and cute! (Original) The best enchiladas of san Miguel de Allende ... El guiso de champiñon es súper rico... Yo le pido adentro de mis enchiladas. Nunca fallan.

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.

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.

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.
