Activity itinerary

Museo Ex-Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The Ex Hacienda de San Gabriel de la Barrera is an outstanding example of colonial architecture in Guanajuato, built in the 18th century. Originally, this hacienda was a centre of agricultural and livestock production, with a focus on the exploitation of the region's natural resources. Over time, the hacienda became an important refuge for local elites, who enjoyed its beautiful garden and neoclassical architecture. In addition, the hacienda witnessed the transition of the local economy from agriculture to mining, making it a symbol of the region's agricultural history. Today, the former hacienda houses a beautiful garden and cultural spaces, serving as a reminder of Guanajuato's historical legacy.

Hotel Castillo Santa Cecilia

  • 1h
The Castillo de Santa Cecilia, located on top of a hill, was built in the 19th century as a private residence. This building reflects the influence of the neo-Gothic architectural style and is an example of the urban development that took place in Guanajuato during this period. Originally, the property belonged to the family of a notable miner, underlining the connection between the wealth generated by mining and the architectural boom of the city. Over the years, the castle has been used for various purposes, including social and cultural events. Today, the Castillo de Santa Cecilia is not only a tourist attraction, but also a space for artistic and cultural activities, preserving the history of the Guanajuato elite.

Museo Mina Valenciana 1791

  • 1h
  • Admission ticket not included
The 1791 Valencian Mine Museum is a space that allows visitors to delve into the heart of the mining history that gave rise to and enriched the city. Located in one of the region’s most iconic mines, this site recreates the conditions and mining techniques used since the late 18th century, when Guanajuato was establishing itself as one of the world’s leading silver-producing centers. Through its tunnels, original tools, and historical accounts, visitors can understand the complexity of mining work and the fundamental role it played in the area’s economic and social development. Beyond its educational value, the mine offers an immersive experience that connects directly with the past, serving as a living testament to Guanajuato’s industrial and cultural legacy.

Mina de Guadalupe (Pass by)

The Guadalupe Mine and its imposing Guadalupe Silo stand out as one of the most iconic symbols of the mining legacy of the Valenciana region. From the outside, its industrial architecture conveys the magnitude of an era when mineral extraction defined the rhythm of life and the prosperity of Guanajuato. Its sturdy structures, designed to withstand grueling workdays and massive volumes of material, reflect the engineering and ambition of centuries past. Although today it can only be viewed from the outside, its presence continues to evoke the grandeur of New Spain’s mining era, serving as a visual landmark that connects visitors with the history and identity of this iconic area.

Mina de San Juan de Rayas

  • 20m
The Rayas Mine is one of the most emblematic mines in Guanajuato, known for its rich silver production during colonial times. Its exploitation began in the late 18th century and it quickly became one of the most productive in the region. The mine has been an important testimony to Guanajuato's mining history, where thousands of workers, mostly indigenous and mestizos, toiled under difficult conditions. During its heyday, the mine produced a significant amount of precious metals that sustained the economy of New Spain. Today, the Rayas Mine offers guided tours that allow visitors to learn about the methods of mineral extraction and the life of the miners at the time, providing a valuable insight into the mining history of the city.

Rocha Arte En Plata

  • 10m
We will visit a Guanajuato Baroque jewelry shop, where you’ll receive an introduction to local jewelry craftsmanship and have the option to purchase a piece of jewelry—purchases are entirely optional.
