Incredible Yet Unknown Destinations: Guanajuato, Mexico
Guanajuato is a small city located in the heart of Mexico, halfway between Mexico City and Guadalajara. Rich in colonial history, Guanajuato was inhabited by Spanish settlers because of the discovery of silver mines in the surrounding mountains. At the height of the colonial period, the city was one of the most influential in the world and accounted for two-thirds of the world’s silver production.
This rich history is evident in the vibrant city that stands today. Guanajuato is accessible via two major streets and is a colorful labyrinth of alleyways, houses, churches and Spanish architectural marvels that make it one of the world’s most beautiful unknown destinations.
