Introduction
Join us on a surreal, mouth-watering, and breath-taking journey through the heart of Mexico's Aguascalientes over the course of three wonderful days.
Day 1 - Unveiling Colonial Heritage
Kick start your trip by unraveling Aguascalientes' colonial past. Start your adventure in the Centro Historico, where our day will be filled with awe-inspiring Spanish colonial architecture. Our first stop lies at the Plaza Patria and Exedra, a quintessential Aguascalientes attraction with a history as old as time. Up next, The Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of the Assumption calls us with its enchanting religious history and architectural marvel. Then take a stroll down the cosmopolitan El Zocalo, a place teeming with street musicians and art. Enjoy a delicious local lunch down at any bustling street food joint. Our day closes up with a visit to the National Museum of Death, a first-of-its-kind in the world, showcasing the intriguing Mexican culture of celebrating life and death together.
Day 2 - Going Through the Cultural Looking Glass
Start your day with a hearty Mexican breakfast before we dive deep into the city's art and culture. Our first stop takes us to the Discover Interactive Museum, a place that appeals to both the curious and the intellectual in all of us. Get ready to unravel science at an enormous three-story museum filled with interactive exhibits. Next up, we head to the Museum of Contemporary Art. Even if you're only a casual fan of contemporary art, the world-class exhibits of this museum are a treat to witness. Once we've had our fill of art, it's time for lunch. May I suggest trying out 'borrachitos'? It's a local favorite. In the evening, we make our way down to Plaza San Marcos, a place renowned for its grandeur and exceptional beauty.
Day 3 - Unwind and Reflect amidst Nature
The grand finale of our trip comes with a tranquil retreat into nature. Our first destination is the Jardin de San Marcos, the ideal place for an early stroll amidst shaded trees, peaceful fountains, and beautiful sculptures. Up next, we drive to Parque Tres Centurias, a historical park where nature, history, and culture coincide. Following a bite of local food for lunch, we visit the Aguascalientes Zoo - a perfect end to our journey by gaining insight into the variety of exotic flora and fauna of this region. And don't forget to take some beautiful clicks as these would serve as a great memoir of your visit.
