Querétaro to Guanajuato Colonial Highlands
Head north from Mexico City to explore the colonial historic cities of Querétaro, the wine country, San Miguel de Allende, and Guanajuato.
Travel north from Mexico City by bus, staying in Querétaro, San Miguel de Allende, and Guanajuato in sequence, and fly out of León Airport to avoid backtracking. You will need to rent a car or hire a driver for the wine country day, but the rest can be done by bus. The pace is relaxed, focusing on historic centers, architecture, and Independence history; ideal for art lovers and wine enthusiasts, skipping the extension towards Morelia.
Accommodation in Guanajuato is tight during the Cervantino Festival in October; book well in advance.
