  • Welcome to Guanajuato, Mexico! This town has been a completely wonderful surprise to us. We decided to add this town onto our itinerary after talking with a local who told us it was a must visit (and he was right!). This town is by far the most beautiful place we've been to in Mexico and we are so excited to share a glimpse of what makes this place so special with you today. From the winding streets to colorful historic buildings, and parades to delicious food, this town has it all. Let's go!

    Hey y'all! We're Chris + Sara (or as you know us, Let’s Be Us), a husband and wife digital nomad travel duo currently working and traveling full time with our pup, Kramer. We've always dreamed of traveling full time, and in May of 2018 we took the leap and made it happen! Today we're balancing work and fun everywhere between the Pacific and Atlantic. From hiking and cycling to tacos and coffee, we're trying to see and experience as much of this world as we can! While our home is currently on wheels in our DIY Sprinter van, our travels take us all around the world.

      @martingregory6993 Bro, I've been to Zacatecas as have my family recently.
      I've also been to Guadalajara and Morelia which are generally in "dangerous" states.
      Zacatecas was one of the most peaceful states in Mexico until about 10 years ago when cartels from neighboring Jalisco and from Sinaloa came to Zacatecas. Sort of the same thing happening to Guanajuato right now, and yet people are still flocking to San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato. The city of Zacatecas itself is the same way

    ALWAYS get a room that offers coffee in the morning or an Airbnb that has a coffee maker.
    Such an easy way to avoid not having coffee. I couldn’t imagine.
    There are several Cafe Tal & Conquistador Coffee Houses that are open by 7 AM and both sell coffee that you can take back with you to your room.

    I whole-heartedly agree with you guys! I visited Guanajuato in 2023 and also fell in love with the city. I felt like I was truly in Mexico when I arrived in that city. I loved the tunnels and alley ways. I also fell in love with the architecture and colors and how alive and vibrant the city was. I remember eating at a restaurant and a parade passing by of a wedding ceremony. It was so festive and fun. Thank you for sharing this video and safe travels and blessings to you guys!

    Your drone shots are great! Guanajuato is a very different type of place. We spent a couple of weeks there after having lived in San Miguel de Allende for a year and wondered about the possibility of living there, but those steep laneways are a killer and it was not practical since we have 3 dogs. We stayed in a much flatter area slightly uphill called La Presa which was nice - had a huge park and a nice dam with restaurants and cafes but we found it impossible to find a place for rent that would take dogs. It was the only place in Mexico we've had problems with finding accommodation. But, not sure that I'd want to live there anyway cause although it was cool to visit it's kind of a strange place and a little claustrophobic. Beautiful buildings though - but we're not mountain goats. So we've moved on to another place in Mexico now. 🌵🌻🌴🌶

      Oh FYI, differences SMDA and GTO: 1-GTO has them awesom tunnels! 2-GTO is in a canyon, 3-GTO is not as "American gentrified" , both are good elements! SM is fancier in a good way, GTO is more "Mexican original" ina good way IF, that's what you want to experience. Peace! sorry, Paz! Oh and GTO has a Diego Rivera and more museums, Don Quixote history, the main plaza theater etc, the alondiga! BUT, SMDA is only about 1hr from GTO! just do both if you are ever in the area :)

    You captured the beauty of Guanajuato even though you can't pronounce it. And that random parade you found, well, those things happen often here. It's a city with customs for the people who live here, not fake parades created for tourists that you might see elsewhere. Sadly, though, I've seen some events change to hide from tourists prying eyes. You didn't see much of the city, though. It's much more diverse then you'd expect. If you visit, please don't treat this like you would a beach town.

    Nice place to stay in Guanajuato - now, to complete your life, all you need is FOUR STREET DOGS to share your camper with you?????? Usually, I do not recommend traveling in a motor home in Mexico, but you've got a convenient rig there - not too big. I always find it cheaper and better to live closer to the locals in Mexico and NEVER visit trailer parks - they seem to cost more so I'd prefer staying among the locals in a condo or house. I usually get disocunts through seasonal or through friends.
