    The transportation from San Miguel de Allende to the Sanctuary of Jesus Nazareno takes about 20 minutes. Along the way, we'll discuss the local area, the surrounding communities, and the new neighborhoods we pass through, giving you a better understanding of the region’s development and history. Upon arriving at the Sanctuary, you'll see an image of Father Miguel Hidalgo holding a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe. This site is where Hidalgo took a significant step in the fight for independence in 1810. We'll share a brief talk about this historic event. Next, we'll admire the main façade of the church, where we'll learn about its founding. We will enter the church respectfully—removing hats or caps—and explore its six sections of the nave, including the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of Loreto, and the Chapels of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre. Inside, you'll notice the beautiful tempera paintings that adorn the walls from the entrance all the way to the altar.
