Mascota & Talpa de Allende Excursion

On this excursion from Puerto Vallarta, we'll visit two Magical Towns in the state of Jalisco in one day: Mascota and Talpa de Allende.

Mascota & Talpa de Allende Excursion

At 7:30 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Puerto Vallarta and head east to visit Mascota and Talpa de Allende. Before reaching our first destination, we will stop in the small town of La Estancia for a typical Mexican breakfast.

In Mascota, we will explore the historic centre, observing colonial architecture and landmarks such as the church of Nuestra Señora de Los Dolores, the Municipal Palace, and the unfinished church of the Precious Blood. We will discuss the impact of the Mexican Revolution on construction halts.

Our final stop will be in Talpa de Allende, where you will have 1 hour and 20 minutes for lunch before a guided tour. We will visit the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary of Talpa, a pilgrimage site attracting over three million visitors yearly, and learn about its history dating back to 1782 and its architectural styles.

To conclude, we will return to the minibus and drop you off at your hotel around 8:30 pm.
