Overview

This guided adventure invites you to experience the true essence of Mexico by immersing yourself in the charm of El Tuito, a 400‑year‑old farming and ranching pueblo. Travel the scenic coastline by bus, offering breathtaking views of the bay. Turning inland, the journey follows a river through a mountain pass before descending into a peaceful valley—where it feels as though you’ve traveled hundreds of years into the past.

Feel the Spirit of Tradition As you stroll the cobblestone “main street” toward the historic central plaza, you’ll be surrounded by colonial architecture and the timeless rhythm of village life. With your guide, you’ll explore the church, city hall, art galleries, and local shops, each stop revealing stories that connect you to Mexico’s culture and traditions. Lunch will be at one of several authentic cantinas in the plaza. By the time you depart in the afternoon, you’ll carry with you not just memories, but a sense of connection to Mexico’s history, people, pueblos.

What's Included

  • Expert bilingual guide for entire tour from PV through Tuito and return.
  • Lunch Food and drink are not included as well as the 50 pesos bus faire each way (under $3USD)
