Colonial Cities Description
Colonial Cities Group Tour Itinerary Colonial Cities Independent Itineraries
With its many contrasts, this trip has so much variety it will please everyone. It includes three of the most important colonial cities in central Mexico-- Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende and Queretaro. You will love this tour if you love history, pottery, art, architecture and music.
If Mexico’s colonial cities were a crown, Guanajuato would without
doubt be it’s prime jewel. UNESCO
has named the town as a World Heritage Site.
The great French architecture of this gorgeous city was built with the
wealth generated from the silver mines that enjoyed their heyday during the 17th
and 18th centuries. Present
day Guanajuato is 100% Spanish Colonial in look, style, feel and atmosphere.
Cobbled streets, churches, asymmetrical buildings, an amazing tapestry of
color, vibrancy and sheer historical splendor await all who travel to this
stunning colonial gem.
San Miguel de Allende Church |
San Miguel de
Allende
mixes the best aspects of small-town life with the cosmopolitan pleasures of a
big city. Smallest of the colonial
cities, its cobblestone streets, fanciful church, unique galleries, shops and
restaurants set it apart from the rest. For
many years, this city has supported a resident population of artists, writers,
and expatriates. Colonial and
revolutionary history will come alive in San
Miguel de Allende. Queretaro
is the oldest city
(1531) and the most historic. During
the colonial era, it played a central role in the conquest and evangelization of
northern Mexico. It
was at the center of events for the three wars that forged the Mexican nation:
the War of Independence, the War of the Reform and the Mexican
Revolution. History abounds here We have planned this experience with plenty of time to explore each colonial city. |
