Visita guiada al Santuario de Guadalupe

Visit the Basilica of Guadalupe, one of the most visited Catholic pilgrimage sites in the world. Discover the deep spiritual significance of this sacred place, admire its impressive architecture and learn the inspiring story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, a symbol of faith and devotion for millions. During this tour, we will visit the Temple of Guadalupe, popularly known as "La Villa" or Basilica of Guadalupe. It was built in the 17th century by the architect Pedro de Arrieta and receives some 20 million pilgrims annually. The Virgin of Guadalupe in Mexico is not only a religious symbol, it is also part of the Mexican identity, worshiped in all Mexican homes and many others in Latin America. Her national holiday is on December 12, and she is greatly important for her four appearances to the Chichimeca indigenous Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin on the Tepeyac Hill, and on one occasion to Juan Bernardino, Juan Diego’s uncle. Due to this influence on Mexican culture, visiting the Basilica of Guadalupe is essential, whether you are a believer or not. On this trip, you will be able to admire both the current and the old basilica, and also climb Cerro Tepeyac, where the miracle of fresh flowers and the first apparition of Santa María de Guadalupe are remembered. Later, you will visit the Basilica Museum, located in the old convent of the Capuchins, where you will see an important collection of Baroque Art. The work of this place is focused on conserving, studying and disseminating nearly 4000 cultural assets protected by the Distinguished and National Basilica of Guadalupe. After the guided visit around all the mentioned places, you will have free time to explore the place a bit deeper or attend mass.
