“WEEKLONG ADVENTURE FROM GUANAJUATO TO SAN MIGUEL”
Coyote Canyon Adventures is proud to offer this amazing adventure that will take you across the outstanding
sierra or mountain range that once crossed on horseback the Mexican heroes of Independence, between the
towns of Guanajuato and San Miguel de Allende.
It’s 6 days on horseback and 5 nights camping outdoor in the Guanajuato mountains –all the equipment is
provided to guarantee a deep and resting sleep after riding for 3 to 6 hours a day. Once at the camp, you may
spend the rest of the day still riding, if you feel like it, or either exploring on foot the mysteries of that historic
land such as rivers, waterfalls and a hidden graveyard where the runaway revolucionarios that stayed hidden
from the army in those mountains where buried, along with their treasures…

WEEKLONG ADVENTURE
After ha ving thoroughly explored Guanajuato, your
Mexi ca n Horseback Adventure begins as we work our
wa y through the beautiful, a nd windy colonial ci ty. This
fi rs t part of our ri de takes us not only through the town
a nd i ts lavish historical district, but a lso down into its
uni que tunnel system underneath the ci ty, which was
once us ed to channel its ri ver.
Once we a re on the edge of town we have a quick stop
to s a y goodbye. We say goodbye to ci vilization. You say
goodbye to your everyday world, and we prepare to
enter a very different reality.
From thi s point on we spend the next 6 da ys riding over
mountains, high desert plains, rolling hillsides, a nd
a cros s various river valleys on our faithful horses. You
wi l l also have opportunities to hike and swim i n these
na tural areas. The vi ews a re always spectacular, i n
every di rection, and the landscape can change
dra matically from one hour to the next. In the
mountains we will explore both oak and pine gallery
forests. The vi ews from the top of these mountains are
a bs olutely breathtaking!
