The Cervantino Festival is indeed one of Mexico’s most prestigious, international and complete events around the calendar. Guanajuato pays homage to Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes, author of Don Quixote.
Visitors to Guanajuato in October are treated to strolling minstrels, symphony orchestras, opera, jazz, rock groups, theatre and dance companies. During three weeks the Cervantino Festival features artistic performances and exhibitions of classic and modern art. Many countries from around the world are represented, with over two thousand national and international artists displaying their works. You will find classical music and modern electronic rhythms, along with folkloric and contemporary dance, plays and multimedia shows. Cinema, visual arts, all kinds of workshops and activities can also be enjoyed throughout the festival. Immerse yourself in poetry readings, exhibits, conferences, puppet shows, concerts, and hundreds of activities that represent the very best of the international arts.
Also available for the public are arts and crafts festivals, experimental theater groups and new film releases. At the Cervantino Festival there are plenty of different activities going on along every day and in almost every corner. People form all around Mexico and the world congregate to share and celebrate. There are hotels for all budgets, restaurants for all likes and good times for everybody.
Reservations should be made well in advance for this annual festival. If you are a culture and arts lover this is where to go in October. Guanajuato is perhaps Mexicos and one of Latinamericas most beautiful cities illuminated at night. Having the opportunity and missing it is a capital sin!
Night life is also a big event every night. Literally thousands of people from all ages walk the city streets at night looking for restaurants to dine, bars to drink and places to dance. All kinds of places, restaurants, bars and cafes offer different concepts, menus, atmospheres, music, design and decoration. Always a chance to try something new and enjoy the festivities. Not looking for nightlife excitement, the city is beautiful and the weather is excellent at night so a simple walk through the streets is a delight.
The idea behind Sectur’s (Mexican Ministry of Tourism) project is to show that Mexico is much more than just sun and beach. Converting quaint, culturally rich towns into visitor-friendly destinations, the government wants to make sure they retain their authentic Mexican charm, which is ultimately what sets them apart from other destinations.

{mosimage}Travel Mexico and its magnificent archelogical sites. Teotihuacan arose as a new religious center in the Mexican highland, around the time of Christ. Although its incipient period (the first two centuries B.C.) is poorly understood, archaeological data show that the next two centuries (A.D. 1-200) were characterized by monumental construction, during which Teotihuacan quickly became the largest and most populous urban center in the New World. By this time, the city already appears to have expanded to approximately 20 square km, with about 60,000 to 80,000 inhabitants.
Travel Mexico and travel in time. In Zacatecas nearly all of the city center buildings are nineteenth century or older; the topography and irregular street pattern (most streets are too steep and narrow for vehicles; many have steps in them) almost make one think of a medieval city like Toledo, Spain. The city, built on the site where silver was discovered in the 1530s, is crammed into a narrow canyon, with houses and churches perched on its nearly vertical walls.
About an hour’s drive east of Comitan is Lagunas de Montebello National Park (opened daily from 8:00 a.m. till sunset, entrance only US$1.75 per person), a striking array of lakes, lagoons, and small, medium and large ponds whose colors famously range from emerald green to pale blue, from deep purple to reddish black.
Taxco is a beautiful city built on a hill. It is rich with old and new silver mines, it has narrow streets and hundreds of silver shops. At the middle of the city there is a Colonial Plaza with a Basilica that it absolutely beautiful dating back to the 1700's.
