Description

At the scheduled time, we'll collect you from your hotel in Guanajuato for a minibus journey to Mineral de Pozos.

After 2 hours of travel, we'll arrive at our destination. We will first visit the Santa Brígida mine, which features 18th-century silver-smelting ovens built by the Jesuit order.
