Antonio picked my dad and I up from our hotel and drove us through the fantastic tunnel network running through the city. He was a font of knowledge about Guanajuato, so that even before we had reached the Bufa hills we had learned a great deal.
Our guide was very patient and conversational with us, telling us a great deal about the city's mining history, mummies, local plants and animals and sports teams, mesoamerican history and geological undergirdings, all while the area's scenery opened up as we ascended. This is a strenuous hike so good shoes and a walking stick are advised, especially for those worried about their knees.

I have done the La Bufa hike twice with Cacomixtle – once with Antonio and most recently with Susana. This is a great hike of easy-to-moderate difficulty that I would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, and Susana and her team are great guides to show you the way and provide whatever background on the area, or Guanajuato generally, that you want. The “reward” at the end of the hike – a beautiful panoramic view of Guanajuato – is very special. Cacomixtle does such a great job tailoring the tour to whatever may interest you.

I had a great tour with Susana in the Santa Rosa area -- I learnt so much about Guanajuato city and the hike we did I learnt all about the flora and fauna of the area. After the hike she was kind enough to extend the time and take me to a restaurant and ordered local delicacies that I would have otherwise never tried. It was a really lovely and memorable day and anyone that chooses to do this tour would also find it this way. I really really recommend this tour!!

I thought it was a group tour, but it turned out to be a private tour. the guide Antonio didn't take me to Santa Rosa, but instead took a short drive to La Bufa south east of Guanajuato, which is the big cross on top of the mountain as advertised. It was an adventurous hike taking 2 hours up & down, not for beginners and the unfit though. One feels acomplished having reached the cross and you have the entire Guanajuato under your feet. I really appreciate Antonio who is very experienced and I will be back.
