About this activity
Over the years, the town's population fluctuated wildly as gold and silver were mined intermittently between the 1600s and the 1930s. Today, although the "gold fever" has subsided and the people afflicted by it have long since departed, this beautiful mountain village of 600 residents retains its colonial heritage as an outstanding example of the traditional ways of living and working in a remote Mexican village. In addition to the traditional corn and cattle raising procedures, local folks still cultivate coffee and agave on the mountainside.
It is a joy to wander around in this very peaceful town, which has changed so little in hundreds of years. With an 18th century church dedicated to San Sebastián, a classic Porifian bandstand and a quaint cobblestone plaza lined by dignified white buildings, San Sebastián remains a living museum untouched by time.
Full with culture, history and amazing natural beauty, this truly is an experience difficult to surpass.

A wonderful guide and driver. Lots of interesting scenery and a nice lunch. An historical look at San Sebastian. Recommended.
A long day but worth your time. The lunch they serve is delishous. Historical village very interesting.
Tour guide Gabriel and driver Fidel took good care of us. We learned some Mexican history along the way and stopped at a tequila distillery and had some tasty samples. We toured the town and enjoyed the scenery. A nice day spent in the cooler mountains!
Because of a local bad road, if you have a motion sickness, you should not go. But it if are OK for motion sickness, you can learn many things about Mexico and history. Cool air and Nice guide and local people.
