Your Experience

Nestled in the hills of the Sierra Madre mountains, San Sebastian del Oeste retains a strong Spanish colonial heritage. Its abundance of natural resources like gold, silver, and lead gives it the reputation of a well-equipped mining town. While the mines now remain closed, San Sebastian thrives on agriculture and tourists who wish to escape into a mountainside pueblo. Centuries-old buildings that have aged gracefully, ranch homes called haciendas, and well-maintained colonial churches and structures all give the impression of a different but distinct Mexican scene, allowing you to glimpse into life back in the 1700s.

On this tour, you will experience a well-preserved portion of Mexico’s history. Walk down steep roads dotted with a mixture of new country homes for rich families from Guadalajara and homes that had been there since time immemorial. Stumble upon museums, handicraft shops, silver shops, and farms, including those growing avocados and coffee. Visit a local coffee maker’s abode, enjoy a hot cup of the traditional brew, visit a tequila house to taste agave-distilled products, all homemade. Last but not least, visit a family-owned restaurant and gather a taste of the more traditional dishes of Mexico fused with pre-hispanic ingredients and techniques that continue to thrill today!
