Cultural Tour
We would like the present you the Cultural tour to ZACATECAS, the journey will allow you to know a bit of the the life,
traditions, and the culture of this wonderful country: México.
You will have an opportunity to know an incredible and colonial city as well as awesome natural landscapes. Zacatecas is
rich! But rich of nature, culture …and silver , because Zacatecas is also well known as the silver and jewelry city.
Zacatecas is a city of enormous beauty and unabashed Mexican pride.
At 8,100 feet above sea level (making it Mexico’s second highest city), Zacatecas will quite literally take your breath away.
The city’s stunning architecture includes many religious and civil buildings from the colonial era: the cathedral, clearly
dominates the center of town.
Since its establishment as a mining camp in the 16th century, Zacatecas has long been valued for its rich deposits of
silver and other minerals.
Some mines have been adapted for tours, including El Eden. The tour offers a cable car ride to the legendary Cerro de La
Bufa (Bufa Hill), where visitors can admire striking rock formations, mineral colors, and underground machinery. With a
mix of curves and straight lines, the city center architecture is certainly distinctive. Its avenues are punctuated by alleys,
each boasting its own legend.
Though inhabited in pre-Hispanic times, Zacatecas was officially founded by the Spanish following the discovery of a rich
silver lode. Zacatecas reached the height of its prosperity in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the late 16th century,
several religious orders began constructing churches with the help of local silver barons. As you'll see, its historic center
is a tight clustering of magnificent churches, abandoned convents and sturdy colonial architecture. By the early 18th
century, Zacatecas was producing one-fifth of the world’s silver.
We invite you to join this tour prepared for you, welcome!
