• Mineral de la Luz - Mineral de la Luz is a historic mining town that significantly contributed to Guanajuato’s economic prosperity during the colonial period. Established in the late 16th century, it was a major hub for gold and silver mining, aiding the region’s development and supporting the Spanish Empire financially. The mines of Mineral de la Luz still stand as a testament to the mining activities that defined Guanajuato, providing insight into the technological advancements and working conditions of that era. Today, its cultural and architectural heritage remains a vital legacy of the colonial period.
• Museo De Momias Viajeras - The Mummies of Guanajuato are a collection of naturally mummified bodies discovered in the Santa Paula cemetery starting in the mid-19th century. The mummification occurred naturally due to the climate and soil conditions in Guanajuato. This phenomenon, initially driven by the exhumation of bodies whose families could not afford perpetual fees, has become a captivating subject for anthropologists and historians. Today, these mummies offer visitors a deeper understanding of the region’s funerary practices, beliefs about death, and social history. It is important to note that the Traveling Mummies, located in the Cerro del Cubilete, are distinct from those displayed in the Mummy Museum of Guanajuato.
• Santuario de Cristo Rey - The Monument to Christ the King, situated atop the Cerro del Cubilete, is one of the most iconic symbols of Catholic faith in Mexico. Its construction began in the 1940s to honor the religious devotion of the Mexican people, especially in the post-revolutionary period and following the Cristero War, which defended religious freedom. The statue, standing 20 meters tall, was erected at the geographical center of the country and portrays Christ King of Peace with outstretched arms as a protective figure. This site has become a pilgrimage destination and bears witness to the country’s religious history.
