TEOTIHUACAN
When you are a lover of pyramids, you just need the visit the archeological site of Teotihuacan, where you can find the third largest pyramid in the world, the pyramid of the sun. When we drove into San Juan de Teotihuacan, the village closest to the pyramids, I expected it to be a over the…
Bernal y Tequisquiapan, Queretaro, Mexico
OMG…..We knew that after Xilitla, a little village in the mountains, our previous stop, the road should go down. Before, to reach Tamasopo, we had some serious overheating breaks trouble. But nothing could prepare us for this. Instead of going down, leaving Xilitla to Bernal, we kept going up and up. And when you go…
XILITLA, La Huasteca Potosina, Mexico
Our next stop after Tamasopo is Xilitla another Pueblo Magico (Magical Village). After the bad experience arriving with red hot brakes in Tamasopo, we were a little worried to go deeper into the mountains. But locals assured us the road was fine and only going up…..(yes, that did scare me for when we had to…
Tamasopo, La Huasteca Potosina, Mexico
They told us this was a place we could not skip, but driving into town wasn´t our greatest experience. After a big climb we also needed to go down. The steep and winding road was heavy on our breaks. A small, not so special entrance of the small village was our first stop, with smoking…

Galeana, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
We had no fixed route planned after Linares. But people told us it’s better for safety to go west first and then continue south, than continue south directly. This because the road south of Linares, which looked like the most logical thing to do for us as we want move slowly to Mexico City, passes…
LINARES, NUEVO LEON, MEXICO
Another Pueblo Magico worth visiting. Not as small and compact as Santiago. But it breaths history. Founded in 1712, now it has about 100.000 inhabitants. The first settlement wasn´t at the same place, but more west. But because of the constant trouble with the local Indians a truth was made. The settlement would move east…
SANTIAGO, NUEVO LEON, MEXICO
The first Pueblo Magico we visited was Santiago in the state of Nuevo Leon. The village was founded by Diego Rodríguez de Montemayor in 1645 and bears the same name as its sister village Santiago de Compostela in Spain. While Santiago de Compostela is world famous as the end of many pilgrimage routes, Santiago in…
FIRST STOP IN MEXICO, HIDALGO, NUEVO LEON
We decided on staying on a paid campsite for our first night in Mexico. Safely away from the border zone. After a smooth border crossing, we drove straight trough to a small village called Hidalgo in Nuevo Leon. Hidalgo is north west of the first bigger city, called Monterrey, after crossing the border in Laredo…
PUEBLOS MAGICOS
Mexico has given, to a limited amount of cities, the title of Pueblo Magico. Translated to Magical Village. This title is only given to villages which have a certain national heritage value. But it also means that the villages need to have ongoing projects to restore those national heritages. Because the title is given on…
