Real de Catorce Day Trip

At 7:30 am, 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 in the mountains.

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

In the mining galleries, an aquifer was discovered, which led to flooding and the eventual closure of the silver mine. Consequently, the town was abandoned due to the lack of economic activity.

During the trip, you'll have 1 hour of free time for lunch. Afterward, we will walk through the streets of Real de Catorce to visit the Casa de la Moneda, the first mint established in Mexico.

Next, we'll explore the Plaza de Armas and visit the Church of the Purísima Concepción, where the image of San Francisco is venerated.

We'll return you to your hotel in San Luis Potosí and drop you off at 7:30 pm.
