Our day culminates in the enchanting colonial town of PATZCUARO. Here, you’ll be struck by the beauty of the Basilica of Our Lady of Health (Basílica de Nuestra Señora de la Salud) and intrigued by the House of Eleven Patios (Casa de los Once Patios), now a thriving artisan market.

Once the capital of the Purépecha Empire, this town boasts the Franciscan Convent of Santa Ana (Ex Convento de Santa Ana), home to nearly 500-year-old olive trees. Across from the convent, we’ll explore the Yácatas – ruined Purépecha pyramids that whisper tales of a bygone era.

We’ll explore its historic heart, taking in the grandeur of the Guadalajara Cathedral, the bustle of the market, and the charm of Plaza Tapatía. A highlight of our morning is a visit to the Hospicio Cabañas, a UNESCO World Heritage site that stands as a testament to the region’s architectural and cultural legacy.
As noon approaches, we bid a temporary farewell to Guadalajara and set our sights on the town of Tequila, the birthplace of Mexico’s iconic spirit. Here, we’ll delve into tequila production at the renowned MUNDO CUERVO distillery (Fábrica La Rojeña). Our visit includes a guided tour and the opportunity to sample this celebrated beverage. Afterward, you’ll have free time to explore the quaint streets of Tequila and enjoy a local lunch.
Please note: Due to the narrow streets of Tequila’s center, we’ll need to cover the last stretch on foot, which is about a 20-minute walk from where our bus can park.
Also, be aware that during busy periods, our distillery tour might be scheduled for the morning, reversing our day’s itinerary without omitting any activities.
In the late afternoon, we return to Guadalajara, arriving with plenty of time for you to relax or continue exploring the city at your own pace.

Upon arrival, we’ll smoothly transition from the coach to our waiting transfer, which will transfer us to our hotel in the city. Once at the hotel, we’ll assist you with check-in, ensuring you’re comfortably settled for your stay in the capital.
