Always a popular Mexican destination for group travelers, Guanajuato is rich in history and culture. It is here that Mexico began its road to independence and it is the perfect location to learn it and see it. Students can explore Guanajuato’s maze of cobblestone streets and alleys that wind around steep hillsides. They can take in the city’s magnificent colonial buildings, stunning tree-filled plazas and brightly colored houses crammed onto the steep slopes. It is a charming city that exudes energy and youthfulness, largely due to the student population from the University of Guanajuato.
Information about Guanajuato, Mexico (Click to view)
For nearly 200 years beginning in 1558, Guanajuato was one of the richest silver producing cities in the world. The city possesses many subterranean passageways and narrow, winding streets that make it truly unique. Brightly painted houses line steep slopes of a ravine that once contained a river. This extremely charming city is culturally very lively and exhibits an energetic, youthful feel. This is due in part to the 15,000 students attending the University of Guanajuato that is known for its art programs. During the last two weeks of October, Guanajuato hosts the Cervantes Arts Festival, attracting famous artists from around the world.
Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico's people and geography. Over 50 different indigenous groups, each with its own language, comprise 28% of Mexico's 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.
Participants: This program is open to groups of all ages.
