6
HRS
Since San Miguel was designated the capital of art in Latin America, we highly recommend doing one of the most popular and preferred tours for visitors, where we will include Galeria Atotonilco which is a breathtaking collection of ceramics, wood carvings, papier mache, baskets, textiles, historic photographs, graphics, county antiques and more, located on a gorgeous country property in a much-published architecturally significant building. Within this area, we will visit the small, charming town of Atotonilco, the magnificent country church, often dubbed “The Sistine Chapel of Mexico”, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because the walls and ceilings are covered with paintings of Bible stories, painted in the 1700's to convert the Otomi Indians living near the area's thermal waters.
To finish this trip, you can have a great lunch at the gorgeous and exquisite restaurant located at a vineyard property that will make you think you have gone to Provence!
For this tour we recommend starting as early as 10:00 hrs.
Length: 6 hours
