Agustin's Mexico Through my Eyes Tour San Miguel De Allende, Guanajuato (7 full days) 2 traveling days (9 days total) |
|
| Come
enjoy with me the adventure of this beautiful cosmopolitan jewel of
central Mexico! Located at 6,100 feet in the mountains of the State
of Guanajuato, San Miguel is famous for its art schools, mild climate
and baroque architectural style. Immerse yourself in Mexico's culinary culture as we visit markets, food stands and other local shops. We will spend a day in the country for a ranch-style comida and tasting of pulque (a mild alcoholic drink made from maguey plants). In our hands-on cooking classes, you will prepare a variety of regional specialties, from simply delicious salsas and appetizers to more complex tamales and mole dishes. We will visit nearby Dolores Hidalgo for a ceramic making demonstration and stop at the historical village of Atotonilco, home to an exquisite church covered with indigenous frescoes. |

Other side tours
include a visit to a cheese factory and a hand-blown glass shop.
We will also take a day to simply relax in the natural thermal waters
at a spa located outside of San Miguel and share a special lunch.
During the tour, you will have ample free time to make new friends
and shop for antiques, art and other home decorating finds. This
is a one-of-a-kind experience for those in search of adventurous
leisure and culinary delights!
