We'll stop next at the chapel of The Cross of Romero, where panoramic views of Talpa de Allende await.

"My family and I just returned from Puerto Vallarta. We scheduled 4 tours through your company and every single one was excellent. But we really want to thank Pedro, our guide on the Talpa Tour. He is a fountain of knowledge. He picked us up at our hotel and for the next 10 hours shared his knowledge of the local agriculture, scenery, history, culture and of course religion. The churches are magnificent and the experience is really moving. The food was great, the drive was beautiful and Pedro was joy to spend the day with. Don't let the length of the tour scare you away. Being able to see the other side of the mountains and experience a more "real Mexico" was well worth the time spent!" - Michelle from St. Paul, MN |
