Guanajuato Tour + Mummy Museum

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Guanajuato. We'll begin our tour at the Mummy Museum, where we'll check out more than 100 mummies while discussing their historical value and significance as a tourist attraction.

Afterward, we'll stroll through narrow colonial streets to La Valenciana mine. We'll descend through the gallery corridors to the underground, where we'll see the extracted minerals and tools used by the miners. Guanajuato was one of the most productive silver mines in the world in the 18th century, and we'll cover its history during the tour.

Back on the surface, we'll visit the Cervantina roundabout and Plaza de las Ranas en route to the church of San Cayetano, where we’ll admire Churrigueresque art and gold-laminated altarpieces.

The next stop will be the Museo de Galeras de la Santa Inquisición, where we will learn about the darker periods of the city through ancient torture instruments used for punishing heresies.

We'll then sample some typical sweets before exploring the tunnels and underground street of Guanajuato. Next, we'll head to the Pípila monument for a panoramic view of the city, learning about this key figure in Mexican independence.

After 4 to 5 hours of sightseeing, the tour will conclude in the city centre.
