This UNESCO colonial city in the mountains northwest of Mexico City has been on our radar for years. With charming, cobblestone streets, colorfully painted buildings and picturesque scenes at every turn, it’s no wonder why. San Miguel de Allende has great hotels, delicious cuisine, a lively arts scene and a leisurely pace—making it ideal for a quick getaway.
Work with Indagare to design the perfect itinerary for an immersive journey. Our travel experts know the destination inside and out, and they can make recommendations based on your travel needs and preferences.
A classic San Miguel itinerary balances art and culinary experiences with time to stroll the streets. Here is just one example of what our destination experts can create for you.
Get to know the city on a walking tour with an expert guide. Starting in the colorful, historic city center, you will tour the iconic central plaza and the famous pink church, la Parroquia, which boasts gothic-style architecture. Your guide will then take you through the wandering cobblestone streets for an insider’s view of San Miguel.
After a breakfast of fresh fruit and some time to relax poolside at your hotel, enjoy an art tour of San Miguel with a local curator or artist. Alternatively, Indagare can also arrange a fun class or workshop, such as a mixology class, a Spanish class or an apothecary class. Enjoy dinner at a hotspot restaurant.
Wake up early this morning for a special experience arranged by Indagare: a private hot-air balloon adventure. You will be in the air for roughly forty minutes, taking in the sheer size of San Miguel de Allende and the surrounding valley. Once the gentle flight is over you will toast with sparkling wine, before heading to enjoy breakfast at a nearby restaurant. Spend the afternoon at your leisure exploring the city’s boutiques or relaxing at your hotel’s rooftop.
We only feature hotels that we can vouch for first-hand. At many of them, Indagare members receive special amenities, including upgrades, early check-in, breakfast, spa credits and more. Look for the Indagare Plus logo in the reviews.
