Private Tour Mineral de Pozos & Abandoned Mine

The Silver Mines at Mineral de Pozos

We live full-time in San Miguel de Allende, and recently had family visiting from the US. We wanted them to experience some of the interesting history of Mexico. We have used Catrina Tours before, and were very glad to have Diego once again as our guide for our first visit to the silver mines located at Mineral de Pozos. Diego is an experienced guide and speaks fluent English. His knowledge of Mexican history runs deep, and he has a nice, informal way of sharing it. After picking the seven of us up at our home, we drove to visit an organic lavender farm close to the mining area of Mineral de Pozos, about an hour from San Miguel. The farm visit was a bonus and we learned about the science and hard manual work involved behind extracting the essences of lavender. We then visited the large site of an abandoned silver mine and toured the ruins of the buildings there. Diego is well-versed in the processes involved as well as what is known about the lives of the miners. The tine flew by, and we were then treated to lunch (included with our tour) at the modern hotel Tesoros. Diego ordered their unique tapas specialties to share, and we enjoyed informal conversation as we ate. This was our second tour with Catrina Tours, and we highly recommend them. Diego told us that they design tours tailored to client’s desires to maximize the experience.
