Armadillo Ghost Town Hiking Tour

Pick-up will be at 8:30 am at your hotel in San Luis Potosi. We will drive to Armadillo de los Infante, named after the Infante family, who introduced the first printing press to the town.

During the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, this municipality experienced significant growth. However, in the early 20th century, the Mexican Revolution affected San Luis Potosí, leading to Armadillo becoming a ghost town.

We will embark on a 9.7-kilometre (6 miles) hiking route to explore the abandoned buildings and monuments. This simple hike will feature elevations between 134 and 148 metres (436 and 485 feet), allowing us to uncover the town's forgotten history.

At the end of the hike, we will visit the 1600 Restaurante for a meal featuring Potosí gastronomy, which blends pre-Columbian and colonial influences.

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