Lovely and lively, Guanajuato is located on an impossible topography.
Gorgeous Guanajuato is situated on the steep slopes of a ravine. Its narrow streets twist around the hillsides and disappear into a series of tunnels. Flooded with fine architecture thanks to abundant gold and silver deposits, the city is a living monument to its prosperous, turbulent past.
Guanajuato was listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1988, keeping traffic lights and neon signs away. But it's not just history that resounds through these cobbled streets: the university exudes a youthful vibrancy and cultural life that are as interesting as the colonial ambience.
