Real de Asientos & Tepezalá Tour
At 10 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Aguascalientes and set off for the town of Tepezalá.
There we'll visit the Antonio Reyna Museum, where we will learn about the history of Tepezalá through exhibitions of historic objects and information panels. We'll also learn about the Guachichil and Chichimeca people.
Afterwards, we'll see the Church of Nuestro Señor de Tepezalá, dedicated to the image of the Black Christ, followed by the Church of Nuestra Señora del Refugio to observe its gold filigree and wallpaper decoration.
We'll then head to the Magical Town of Real de Asientos, noted for its colonial architecture built of pink stone. We'll visit the town's Mining Museum to see a large collection of rocks, transport wagons, drilling tools, and mammoth bones.
Next, we'll explore 17th century tunnels built to prevent damp in churches, and visit the local pantheon and ossuary.
On the outskirts of Real de Asientos, the ex-Convent of the Señor del Tepozán houses religious objects and artefacts belonging to the Huachichil people.
Finally, we'll make our way back to Aguascalientes, arriving at your hotel at 3 pm.
