Capital of Guanajuato, World Heritage Site 

The capital of Guanajuato was named years ago by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, due to its historical importance at a global level. This is a city that developed between colonial times and in which the first colonizers lived. 

Its nickname, “place of the frogs”, is due to the fact that for the first inhabitants of the city, the shape of its mountainous terrain was similar to that of a frog. This region is known as the Bajío, or the heart of Mexico.

The historic center of Guanajuato has a distinctive European essence, with hundreds of cobblestone alleys that run up and down the hillside. The tree-lined squares are lined with outdoor cafes, museums, theaters, markets, and historical monuments.

In addition, it is a city of legends and legendary places. One of the best known and most popular is its kiss alley, which houses a romantic legend and attracts thousands of tourists every year.
