The state of Zacatecas is located in the central-northern part of Mexico and is, without a doubt, one of the most beautiful regions in the country. It is a truly irresistible state, with an almost dizzying array of activities for its visitors. The diversity of its ecosystems hosts all sorts of animal and plant species, making a visit to the state a truly fascinating experience, guaranteeing a truly fantastic time. Its capital, Zacatecas City, will let you travel through time as feel the magic in its walls and labyrinthine streets. Visiting this city is discovering a place full of history and culture, where silversmithing and architecture merge to create living works of art. Tradition and devotion to culture are two elements which are characteristic of the state, a place where you can feel the beating heart of history in the art of its museums, its buildings, and its people. Zacatecas City is a colonial city with a modern edge, a dual space where past and present meet. Because of this duality, the city serves as a platform to understand the development of the north of Mexico, even as it continues to grow in this state of majestic personality and modern details, full of treasures for you to discover.

Paraiso Caxcán. Its hot springs are the main attraction, especially with its great weather and abundant vegetation. It also offers a hotel, villas, wave pool, pool-side bar, recreational areas, sports areas, and green areas to lounge in. Visit the Cerveceria Corona (Corona Brewery), the largest facility of its kind in Latin America, and the second largest in the world. It is located in the municipality of Calera, only a thirty minute drive from Zacatecas City. The brewery offers a tour, where you can look at the massive scale of its brewing process, and at the end, of course, you can sample its iconic beer. Cheers! We recommend doing the Viceregal Guadalupe route. This famous circuit begins in Guadalupe City, a few miles from Zacatecas City. On this route you can visit the Ex Hacienda of Bernárdez, the Silver Center of Zacatecas, and you can experience the artisanal tradition of silverworking in this state. Other places to visit on this route: the former Apostolic College of Propaganda Fide, the evangelical hub of northern Mexico, or the Temple of Guadalupe, a prime example of baroque architecture in the country. Adventure and nature will call you in the Cardos Sierra, in the municipality of Jerez, and in the Organs Sierra, in the municipality of Sombrerete. Reveal the culinary secrets of Zacatecas, characteristic in its confluence of Spanish and indigenous cultures. Try its typical dishes, like its mutton or goat “birria” (a spicy savory stew), or the “wedding stew,” a traditional northern dish typically served for festivities and celebrations.
