Mapimí & Ojuela Day Trip

Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Durango before heading to the enchanting town of Mapimí, recognized as one of Mexico's Pueblos Mágicos. Upon arrival, you will enjoy one hour of free time to savor a delightful breakfast.

Your exploration will continue at the Benito Juárez Museum, a historical residence of the celebrated figure known as the "Benemérito de las Américas" during the era of the itinerant Republic. Within its walls, you'll find his personal chamber along with various documents, artifacts, and artworks highlighting the legacy of this influential indigenous leader.

As we depart, we'll visit the residence where the iconic revolutionary priest, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla, once resided. You'll also admire the Church of Santiago Apóstol, a stunning architectural gem flaunting Baroque and Mudejar styles that dates back to the 18th century.

Next, we'll board the bus for a brief journey to the abandoned village of Ojuela. Here, we will cross the breathtaking suspension bridge that once facilitated the transport of minerals from the historical Santa Rita mine, a site discovered by Spanish conquistadors in 1598 and later submerged in the mid-20th century. A guided tour will offer intriguing insights into the area's fascinating past.

Your experience concludes with an hour of leisure for lunch before we head back to Durango. You can expect to return to your hotel approximately 12 hours later.
