Parroquia de San Miguel Arcangel

Built in 1683, this pastel pink church is the city's most recognizable landmark.

Reviewed By Retired_teacher_56 - Dwight, Canada

The centerpiece and focal point and one of the best things to do in San Miguel Allende is the unmissable church. La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel or the Church of St. Michael the Archangel is as impressive as it is massive. This is arguably the most photogenic spot in the city inside and out. Enjoy the view from the well-manicured garden in the plaza directly in front of the church that looks almost like an ornate pinkish orange cake! On Sundays, the plaza out front is filled with families and their children enjoying the park. The Luna Rooftop Tapas Bar in the Rosewood Hotel is a great place to have a cocktail enjoying both the sunset and this amazing church

Huge museum, amazing exhibition halls, everything sehr explain, a wonderful way to get to know about the beginnings of Mexico's history and all about the prehispánico cultures, great guides, beautiful spaces, a shame the moctezuma´s headress is a copy, the original is in Vienna. Must visit!

Zona Arqueologica Teotihuacan

The Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon dominate the ruins of what was once the sixth largest city in the world.

Reviewed By suesW5671GT - Kingston, Canada

Pros- incredible pyramids that you are still able to climb and get amazing views ! Cons- loads of people especially if you arrive after lunch Tips- arrive before 10 am; climb Sun Pyramid first ( to avoid the massive crowds and heat); then climb Moon Pyramid; bring water and sunscreen and a hat; you will spend about 4-6 hours if you have lunch at a local restaurant; no need for a guide if you have access to internet; check out sightdoing.net - How to visit Teotihuacan without a tour by Becky. Great website with step by step instructions including photos.

Huasteca Potosina

Reviewed By Daoda2 - London, United Kingdom

Go with Expediciones huaXteca (Arturo is the best!) for the waterfall jumping and ziplines. A total blast, reasonably safe (the bike zipline and bridge are not for the faint-hearted; would never be allowed in the States). Don't, however, take the tour for Tamul Waterfall. We didn't do it, but from what I was told by other travellers you are in the boat for 2 hours and in the end you are still pretty far from the waterfall. Instead take a tour or drive to Campamento Tamul above the falls. You'll have to get a guide provided by the village, so you don't need a separate guide to get you to the campamento. The last 20 minutes are on a very bad road, so you couldn't do it in a rental car. Then it's a beautiful walk along the river to the falls. From there, there's a path down to the river and you're far closer to the falls than the people in the boats and you have a much better view. Go early in the day to avoid the crowds/heat. The path to the river goes down some steep ladders.

El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Preserve

Located next to the tiny village of El Rosario, this sanctuary is the winter nesting grounds for millions of monarch butterflies that migrate from the U.S. each year.

Reviewed By KLight_12

Getting to see the hundreds of millions of Monarch Butterflies at the El Rosario Monarch Butterfly Reserve was a dream come true! My husband and I went there with Natural Habitats Adventures in January 2020. We stayed in Angangueo for two nights. It is a charming town high in the mountains (about 9000 feet). The butterfly reserve is a few miles above the town near the top of the mountain. When we arrived at the reserve, we rode horses up the trail for a mile or so, then walked about half-mile to the area where the Monarchs were roosting in the Oyamel Fir trees. It was breath-taking to see the masses of monarchs hanging in the branches, thickly covering the tree trunks, and flying about when they were warmed by the sun. Seeing this spectacle was a bucket list adventure, I highly recommend going!
