Although I was extremely disappointed that my initial TripAdvisor tour was cancelled with late notice, Carolina (an amazing front desk associate at the Hotel Indigo) quickly connected me with tour leader, Susana, knowing that I was looking for more physical activity. Don't get me wrong, Guanajuato is gorgeous; however, if you only see Zona Centro, then you are missing out on a lot of additional beauty this area has to offer. Susana is clearly in great physical condition from hiking so it was good that I had someone to lead a quick pace ! More importantly, Susana shared with me additional history of the area and I was able to practice my Spanish. (Susana was so patient with me because I really need conversation outside of an app like Duolingo). I will note here that Susana also took me on a hike to Cerro de La Bufa, which was a bit more vigorous -- and very exhilarating! I learned about some of the special feast days in the area as well that involve some of the hiking sites "La Cruz" (cross) and "La Cueva" (cave). I will run out of space here soon, but getting out into the rural areas allowed us to connect with local people going about their daily lives. My favorite experience was meeting a young girl with a cage of bunnies and finding out some of the "back story" on her family's life there. Had it not been for Susana, these types of experiences wouldn't have happened. If you are a bit more independent, I encourage you to contact Susana and have her customize hikes for you as she did for me. Such great memories !!
