Overview

This guided adventure seeks to introduce the visitor to the true essence of Mexico by walking the paths, roads, and pavements of this sleepy 400+ year old farming and ranching village named El Tuito. Meet at 9 am in the Romantic Zone. The hour long bus ride will first be along the very scenic coast of the bay. After 30 minutes or so the bus will turn inland following a scenic river up a winding small mountain pass and then descend into the small pastoral valley and hundreds of years into the past. We will stroll through the “high street” as we make our way to the historic central plaza where we return several hundred years into the past among the charming rural colonial buildings. We will make special visits to the church, city hall, art galleries, and a number of other shops and food vendors. There are several amazing lunch options in town. We will depart around 3 pm. Bonus included is Tequila Tasting Experience back in PV where you will will have option to taste at least 10 tequilas.
