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 travel 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 to the Ogarrio Tunnel. Upon arrival, a guided tour will begin, covering the main attractions of this old mining town.

The town was abandoned after an aquifer flooded the silver mines, leading to a halt in mining activities.

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

Next, we will explore the Plaza de Armas and visit the Church of the Purísima Concepción, home to the miraculous image of San Francisco.

We will return you to your hotel in San Luis Potosí approximately 12 hours after the start of the trip.
