We have long said that if you have only one Mexico tour to take, it should be the Colonial. Along these roads through Central Mexico you will discover a touch of Europe South of the Rio Grande. A great value and a tour that will have you falling in love with Mexico just as we have ... since 1981.
Highlights
- The Central regions of Old Mexico are often referred to as the Bajio and it is here where you will discover that taste of Europe south of the Rio Grande. You are constantly made aware of Old World influences by encounters with Spanish and Moorish architecture evident in the churches, monasteries and fortresses.
- San Miguel de Allende has become the most popular ex-pat scene in Mexico, attracting artists, romantics and those who are seeking the tranquility of a more laid back and typically Mexican lifestyle.
- Riding along the trail of Father Junipero Serra, the Sierra Gorda offers some of Mexico’s finest motorcycling roads. Rising from an arid desert encircled by jagged towering mountains, you will soon be in the cool pine forests. A descent to the tropical eastern slopes of the region inhabited by the Huasteca Indians will no doubt be counted as one of your most spectacular rides.
- Xilitla (sh-leet-la) is a small village in the Sierra Gorda. The enchanting jungle art of Las Pozas, the creation of eccentric English nobleman Edward James (1907-1984), is one of those bizarre encounters that make international travel so fun and interesting.
- The Hacienda Santa Engracia has been a favorite stop of ours since 1986. It is an authentic relic of the 17th century that provides the perfect Old Mexico setting for your final night south of the Rio Grande.
