Reserva Sierra Gorda

Reviewed By offthepath6 - Hastings, United States

We went out to Sierra Gorda with our guide Juan Emanuel from Bike Queretaro tours. The drive out is not necessarily beautiful but unique. We stopped at Puerta del cielo for a picture, then went to chuveje falls. The falls were beautiful and a short easy hike. The water is crystal clear but freezing. The food stand right outside was delicious. We then went to Rio escanela and the puente de dios. This was incredible. The hike was a little longer, but not difficult. You cross multiple wooden bridges, with many great spots for beautiful pictures and scenery. The puente itself was amazing, again with really cold water, but I was able to hike past this and there were great views past it as well..

Finca Sala Vive by Freixenet Mexico

Reviewed By Alex_Raygoza - Sint Maarten, Caribbean

This tour is widely recommended. In our case we were lucky to have Miguel Cruz as a sommelier and guide. Miguel is very knowledgeable about everything to do with the property and services. He is definitely a great asset for this lovely place. We tried 3 different wines, all of them were so nice that at the end of the tour we bought 2 bottles to go, which price was very reasonable. Also I want to mention that the tapas we got while testing the wines were delicious. I will definitely visit again.

The Casa de la Zacatecana (Zacatecan's Home) Museum features a collection of decorative art from Mexico, Europe and the East, as well as sculptures and paintings dating back to the Seventeenth to Twentieth Centuries. The museum is named after the central character of a series of events that gave rise to a famous legend from the city of Zacatecas, in the northern Mexico. The old mansion where the museum is housed dates back to the Eighteenth Century, and is a traditional high-class home of the New Spain society. It consists of eleven halls, and a brief introductory video. A visit to this museum will provide a glance at the day-to-day life of yesteryear that took place un this mansion.
