High up in the desert mountains, a couple of hundred miles northwest of Mexico City, is Guanajuato. Visitors will discover a romantic and colorful city, its chaotic collection of brightly painted buildings lining the narrow lanes and hugging the hillsides above a deep valley.
There are several reasons to visit Guanajuato. Not only was it, along with San Miguel de Allende, a “silver city” colonized by the Spanish in the 1500s and mined for its silver deposits, it is famed by Mexicans for the role it played in the country’s fight for independence from Spain. It is also the birthplace of Diego Rivera, the artist.
Guanajuato today retains much of the colonial era. The city’s buildings appear at times more European than Mexican, the plazas suitably elegant and the churches ornate and awe-inspiring. One of the most noticeable features of Guanajuato is its lack of streets. For these, look underground. The river, which ran underneath the city, use to flood the downtown area until a dam was built in the 1960s. The Underground Street (Calle Miguel Hidalgo) follows the river’s original course.

Guanajuato, Mexico Travel Information
- A Unesco World Heritage site, Guanajuato’s name translates as “place of frogs” in the local dialect, after the Tarascan Indians, followers of the spirit of the frog, spotted a mountain in the shape of a frog.
- For a taste of how a 17th-century silver baron lived, visit the Hacienda San Gabriel de Barrera, on the outskirts of Guanajuato. The interior is stunning, with furniture sourced from England, Spain and France, in enormous reception rooms. The 17 gardens and courtyards are all in a different style. A small chapel adds to the peaceful atmosphere.
- The Museo de las Momias is located on a hill overlooking Guanajuato. A sometimes grisly visit, the museum is home to dozens of naturally mummified bodies. It’s a big draw for tourists from other parts of Mexico and around the world.
- Festivals in Mexico include the International Cervantes Culture Festival, the Expresión en Corto International Film Festival, and two medieval festivals, one during Holy Week and one in mid-December.
- Cristo Rey del Cubilete (Christ the King Shrine) is thought to mark Mexico’s geographic centre. Each year pilgrims make their way there to celebrate the Epiphany (January 6).
