Walk on the wilder side - isis was a fascinating host and she delivered on the experience. We did indeed check out her artwork and had a rich conversation about art, mythology, symbolism and explored underground nightlife. We got to explore the non-touristy side of San Miguel that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own.

Amazing experience!! - Me gustó mucho poder conocer la galería / estudio Galería Nepantla de Isis Rodriguez, el lugar por si mismo es increíble, los ladrillos de la estructura hacen que las pinturas resalten. Primero las vi en su página web, pero de verdad las fotos no les hacen justicia, en persona son impresionantes, con mucho detalle que las hacen ver muy realistas. Son pinturas que te invitan a reflexionar, tu creas tu propia interpretación, pero después ella te explica la historia detrás de la pintura y te das cuenta de que es muy diferente a lo que creías. Aprendes a ver la vida desde otra perspectiva y eso es de valorarse. ****** I really liked being able to visit Isis Rodriguez's Galería Nepantla gallery/studio, the place itself is incredible, the bricks of the structure make the paintings stand out. I first saw them on her website, but the photos really don't do them justice, in person they are impressive, with a lot of detail that makes them look very realistic. They are paintings that invite you to reflect, you create your own interpretation, but then she explains the story behind the painting and you realize that it is very different from what you thought. You learn to see life from another perspective and that is to be valued.

Tour of Isis’ paintings and visit to off the beaten path bars - Was an unusual tour. Enjoyed the visit to Isis’ studio, viewing her thought-provoking work, and having two way conversation about the inspirations. She’s creative and personable! The location for the walk to the first bar was a bit outside the normal tourist zone feeling, particularly given it was after dark, but we arrived at an interesting local spot with two guys playing Guns and Roses covers. Like us, you might feel a bit uncomfortable trying a housemade local drink at the bar. We didn’t have any adverse effects, but if you’re concerned stick to tequila, mezcal, or beer.
