Venture out to the charming colonial city of Guanajuato, the under-explored hidden gem located in the picturesque mountains of central Mexico. This extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage city was founded in 1559, and is known for its colorful culture and rich history of the central highlands. Wander through the quiet less-touristed cobblestoned streets and alleyways dotted perfectly with pretty pastel buildings and fantastic artisan-wares. Marvel at the fine baroque and neoclassical architecture of the city that silver built - thanks to the mining that took place in the 18th century. Consider a beautiful service at one of its divine Basilicas; or perhaps embark on a mini-pilgrimage to see all its amazing seven churches. Walk in the footsteps of the famous Spanish author of "Don Quixote"(Miguel de Cervantes); be inspired by the famous Casa Diego Rivera painted murals on the house where he was born; and delve into this lovey historic city with its many cafes, bars, street food stalls, markets and art galleries. For a delightful memorable evening experience, start in the heart of its Plaza Jardin de la Union and enjoy authentically delicious cuisine at a cafe under the Indian laurel trees, and then join a strolling band of mariachi-musician-tour-guides in the hidden alleys as they recount tales of Guanajuato's history. Should this not be enough to keep you smitten with the region, consider an easy day-trip to San Miguel de Allende which is located an hour away from Guanajuato.
