Walk through the B-Side of Guanajuato

2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

Get out of the traditional circuit and discover the Guanajuato that few travelers get to know. Don't expect a monument-to-monument tour: come to walk, observe, take photographs, and discover the Guanajuato that doesn't always appear in the postcards.

Ideal for those who already know the center or want to get away from the usual routes to discover less known neighborhoods, gardens, and corners.

We will leave the most touristy area behind to walk through spaces where the city changes pace and a quieter, more everyday Guanajuato appears.

We will leave from Plaza Mexiamora and go through the underground street until we reach Embajadoras park to enter the traditional Pastita neighborhood. We will walk through Florencio Antillón Park until we reach the Olla Dam, among trees, architecture, and stories of local life.

We will discover how Guanajuato grew beyond its center and finish at the Pípila Viewpoint, overlooking the city we just toured from above.
