Guanajuato, Mexico
View on Google MapsI highly recommend "Hiking with Antonio" as a way to see some of the countryside outside of Guanajuato City. Antonia is fluent in Spanish and English. His career was spent in the local silver mining business. He's an excellent driver on the curvy roads :-) And, he's a superb guide on the hiking trails. He both offered information, and was glad to answer any questions, I posed about the area's history, culture, customs, flora and fauna. You won't regret spending part of a day with Antonio to explore outside of the city!!
Antonio was terrific. Super knowledgeable and always willing to answer questions. And Susana is an excellent resource for all things tourist related in Guanajuato and the region. I highly recommend them.
I did both hikes and they were equally terrific. Susana and Antonio are so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the area. As well Antonio gave me a great overview of the mining history that fueled the wealth of Guanajuato for many years. Highly recommended if you're looking for exercise and great information about this beautiful part of Mexico.

Antonio picked my dad and I up from our hotel and drove us through the fantastic tunnel network running through the city. He was a font of knowledge about Guanajuato, so that even before we had reached the Bufa hills we had learned a great deal. Our guide was very patient and conversational with us, telling us a great deal about the city's mining history, mummies, local plants and animals and sports teams, mesoamerican history and geological undergirdings, all while the area's scenery opened up as we ascended. This is a strenuous hike so good shoes and a walking stick are advised, especially for those worried about their knees.
The walk was incredible, it was through a protected natural area, you can't imagine that there is such a beautiful and well-kept place just a few minutes from Guanajuato, our guide Susana is super friendly and explains everything very well, plus she was very punctual and He gave us excellent food and drink recommendations, it was definitely a great experience highly recommended.
Incredible experience, Susana our guide, super attentive I highly recommend it A beautiful place, a quiet tour that was enjoyed with the opportunity to see some birds and flora of the region and eat some wild tejocotes
Lovely walk with Susanah, informative and tailored hiking level! Private guided tour & stopped at a cute bakery on the way down
I have done the La Bufa hike twice with Cacomixtle – once with Antonio and most recently with Susana. This is a great hike of easy-to-moderate difficulty that I would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, and Susana and her team are great guides to show you the way and provide whatever background on the area, or Guanajuato generally, that you want. The “reward” at the end of the hike – a beautiful panoramic view of Guanajuato – is very special. Cacomixtle does such a great job tailoring the tour to whatever may interest you.
I had a great tour with Susana in the Santa Rosa area -- I learnt so much about Guanajuato city and the hike we did I learnt all about the flora and fauna of the area. After the hike she was kind enough to extend the time and take me to a restaurant and ordered local delicacies that I would have otherwise never tried. It was a really lovely and memorable day and anyone that chooses to do this tour would also find it this way. I really really recommend this tour!!
I thought it was a group tour, but it turned out to be a private tour. the guide Antonio didn't take me to Santa Rosa, but instead took a short drive to La Bufa south east of Guanajuato, which is the big cross on top of the mountain as advertised. It was an adventurous hike taking 2 hours up & down, not for beginners and the unfit though. One feels acomplished having reached the cross and you have the entire Guanajuato under your feet. I really appreciate Antonio who is very experienced and I will be back.
