Santa Maria del Rio Tour

At 10 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel and start our trip to Santa Maria del Rio, one of the four magical villages in the state of San Luis Potosi. After an hour's drive, we'll arrive in Santa Maria del Rio, known for being the birthplace of the rebozo, a type of shawl. Our first stop will be at a workshop where this traditional garment is crafted, allowing you to learn about how it's made using ancient techniques passed down through generations.

Next, we'll visit the Casa del Rebozo, the only place dedicated to the preservation and promotion of this traditional clothing item. Through its interactive exhibits, we'll learn about the origin of the rebozo, its production process, the types of stitches used, and historical artifacts associated with it.

Our next destination will be the Church of the Assumption, an example of colonial religious architecture in Santa Maria del Rio. This building, which started as part of a 17th-century Franciscan convent, is surrounded by handicraft stores and traditional bakeries.

Lastly, we'll conclude the tour with a drop-off at your hotel at 2:30 pm.
