Armadillo Ghost Town Hiking Tour

We'll pick you up at 8:30 am at your hotel in San Luis Potosi and drive to Armadillo de los Infante. This name originates from the surname Infante, associated with the first printing press in the town.

During the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, the municipality was notable. However, in the early 20th century, the effects of the Mexican Revolution led to Armadillo's abandonment. Would you like to uncover its remains?

We'll embark on a 9.7-kilometre (6 miles) hiking route to explore the abandoned buildings and monuments of Armadillo. This simple hike involves stretches between 134 and 148 metres (436 and 485 feet), allowing participants to discover the town's history.

At the end of the hiking route, we'll visit the 1600 Restaurante to enjoy Potosí gastronomy, which combines pre-Columbian and colonial cuisine.

After lunch, we will return to your hotel in San Luis Potosi, arriving at 5:30 pm.
