Join us on our Real de Catorce Day Trip and immerse yourself in the atmosphere of an abandoned town in the mountains of San Luis Potosí's semi-desert area. You'll also see one of Mexico's famous Magic Towns.

Real de Catorce Day Trip

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in San Luis Potosí. From there, we'll set off to the Magic Town of Real de Catorce.

After crossing the high plateau of Potosí, we will head into the Sierra de Catorce and make our way up to the Ogarrio Tunnel. Upon arrival, we will take a guided tour of the main attractions of this old mining town.

Miners discovered an aquifer that flooded the silver mine, leading to its closure and the town's abandonment.

During the trip, you'll have 1 hour of free time to enjoy lunch. We will then walk through the streets of Real de Catorce to visit the Casa de la Moneda, the first mint founded in Mexico.

Next, we will walk through the Plaza de Armas and visit the Church of the Purísima Concepción, which houses the revered image of San Francisco.

Finally, we will return you to your hotel in San Luis Potosí, concluding the trip approximately 12 hours later.
