10 days in Zacatecas Itinerary

Beautifully preserved architecture and a refreshing lack of mass tourism remain among the main reasons to take a trip to Zacatecas, a colonial-era city at the heart of Mexico.

Explore Zacatecas' surroundings by going to Santuario de Nuestra Senora de la Soledad (in Jerez de Garcia Salinas) and Aguascalientes (Jardin de San Marcos, Enigma Rooms, &more). There's much more to do: examine the collection at Museo Rafael Coronel, contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Catedral de Zacatecas, explore the world behind art at Museo de Arte Abstracto Manuel Felguerez, and make a trip to Plaza de Armas.
