Heart TOUR

Haciendas of the Sierra: Sepúlveda & Corralejo Estates

Begin your journey in the heart of the Bajío highlands, where the grand Haciendas of Sepúlveda and Corralejo evoke the splendor of colonial Mexico. Built between the 17th and 18th centuries,these magnificent Estates once served as centers of agricultural production,craftsmanship, and social transformation. Originally established by the Spanish to organize and develop the region’s resources, they became symbols of innovation and cultural exchange. Today, these haciendas remain beautifully preserved — elegant corridors, vast courtyards, and arched chapels surrounded by fields and mountains. While visiting, you’ll walk through centuries of history and enjoy a traditional lunch in their serene patios.

San Miguel de Allende – Artistic Capital of Colonial Mexico

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, San Miguel de Allende stands as one of Mexico’s most majestic colonial cities. During the height of the Spanish colony, immense wealth flowed into this region, giving rise to magnificent churches, elegant mansions, and refined urban spaces that still radiate splendor today. Later in time, San Miguel also played a pivotal role in Mexico’s War of Independence, serving as the birthplace and inspiration of key figures such as Ignacio Allende, whose courage and ideals helped ignite the nation’s fight for freedom. Beyond its architecture, San Miguel has always carried a deeply artistic character — a place where creativity found form in stone, paint, and tradition. Over the centuries, this spirit evolved into a vibrant community of artists and visionaries who continue to shape the town’s identity. Anyone who visits feels instantly inspired — surrounded by colorful façades, stone-paved streets, and countless small details adorning every doorway, balcony, and alley of the grand historic center.

Guanajuato – The Silver Capital, Color & Baroque Splendor

Descend into the heart of Guanajuato, a city sculpted by silver and art. Once one of the richest mining centers in the world, its wealth gave rise to extraordinary architecture — majestic churches, ornate façades, and grand theaters that reflect the glory of New Spain’s baroque imagination. At the height of its prosperity, Guanajuato became a cultural jewel, blending European elegance with Mexican creativity. The Basilica of Our Lady of Guanajuato, the Jesuit University, and the Teatro Juárez stand as enduring symbols of the city’s refinement and artistic vision. Today, as the city has expanded across the surrounding hills, its narrow alleys still twist through slopes painted in every shade of color, creating a living labyrinth where past and present coexist. Yet beyond its monuments, Guanajuato’s true charm lies in its atmosphere — the hum of music drifting from plazas, the play of light on painted walls, and the stories whispered through its enigmatic tunnels and stairways.

La Valenciana – Mining Haciendas of Guanajuato

High above the city of Guanajuato lies La Valenciana, once the beating heart of one of the richest silver veins in the world. During the 18th century, the mine of La Valenciana produced nearly a third of all silver extracted from the Americas, bringing immense wealth and grandeur to the region. Around it rose elegant haciendas, chapels, and workshops — monumental testaments to human ambition, craftsmanship, and faith. The setting itself is breathtaking — surrounded by rolling hills and the majestic Sierra de Guanajuato, where panoramic views stretch across a landscape shaped by both nature and human endeavor. Today, the area of La Valenciana remains a place of contrasts — silence and echo, opulence and ruin — where every arch and corridor tells a story of endurance, hope, and transformation.
