Colorful houses of Guanajuato

Guanajuato City

Guanajuato, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a unique city built in a narrow canyon where colorful houses stack along the mountainsides. Its underground streets, former river tunnels, form a road system that exists nowhere else in the world. The Teatro Juárez, the Basilica, and the University of Guanajuato frame plazas full of life. The city hosts the International Cervantino Festival, Latin America's most important arts event. The silver mines that gave birth to the city can be visited, and the Mummy Museum is a unique, if peculiar, attraction. The estudiantina callejoneadas with music and wine are an unmissable tradition.
