Real de Catorce Day Trip
Real de Catorce Day Trip
At 7:30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in San Luis Potosí. From there, we'll set off to the Magic Town of Real de Catorce up in the mountains.
After crossing the high plateau of Potosí, which is dominated by cacti and palm trees, we'll head into the heart of the Sierra de Catorce and make our way up to the Ogarrio Tunnel. When we get to our destination, we'll take a guided tour through the main attractions of this old mining town.
In one of the galleries where the miners extracted silver, they came across an aquifer. When the miners drilled it, this flooded the mine. Despite the efforts to continue the mining activities, this was no longer possible and the silver mine was closed. As a result, the town was abandoned due to the lack of economic activity.
During the day trip, you'll also have 1 hour of free time to have a delicious lunch. We'll then continue our activity by walking through the streets of Real de Catorce to make our way to the Casa de la Moneda, which was the first mint founded in Mexico.
Next, we'll walk through the Plaza de Armas and visit the Church of the Purísima Concepción, where the miraculous image of San Francisco is venerated.
We'll then take you back to your hotel in San Luis Potosí and drop you off at 7:30 pm.
