Get Car Hire With A Driver Guanajuato And Explore The Heart Of Mexico


By Karina Frost


Few destinations in the Americas can beat Mexico for sheer variety of experiences. The country boasts some of the most impressive ancient ruins in the world, as well as historic little towns and beautiful colonial cities. Its capital is vast and offers art, culture, sports, shopping and a great nightlife. Nature lovers have it made in the country too, with beaches, jungles, mountains and deserts to explore. It's a good idea to have your own transport in many parts of Mexico, though, to make exploring easier. For instance, if there's a place where you'll really appreciate car hire with a driver Guanajuato is that destination.

Mexico is a federation of states, one of which is Guanajuato. Mexico City lies about four hours to the southeast, making Guanajuato one of the country's central states. It's at the historic heart of Mexico too, since this is where the movement towards independence started.

The capital of the state is also called Guanajuato. This beautiful city in the mountains is a World Heritage Site with stunning colonial architecture. Many people regard it as the prettiest city in Mexico. There are wonderful attractions here, such as the Mummy Museum, and the city is also the site of the first battle that was fought in the War of Independence.

One of the heroes in the struggle for independence was Ignacio Allende and he was born in the city that then became known as San Miguel de Allende. This charming city is a World Heritage Site too and it's long been a mecca for artists. Near the city you'll find another World Heritage Site, the stunning Sanctuary of Atotonilco.

If you love history, you shouldn't miss the city of Dolores Hidalgo. This is where Father Miguel Hidalgo famously called for Mexican independence and many of the sights here are related to that period in the country's history. Lovers of 'ranchera' music should also pay a visit to the colorful tomb of Jose Alfredo Jimenez, the greatest star of this truly Mexican genre.

A great way to explore Guanajuato state is to follow a themed tourist route, such as the Independence Route. For ancient sites, try the archaeological route and for religious architecture, the route of monasteries. There are adventure routes too so that you can explore old abandoned mines, try your hand at adventure sports and become one with nature.

A route for which a car is a must is the handicrafts route. It allows you to visit the largest city in the state, Leon, where you'll be able to stock up on shoes and leather goods, as well as Dolores Hidalgo for its world-famous ceramics. All along the way you'll visit small towns where the people specialize in the manufacture of a specific type of item, such as glassware, woolen goods, woodwork, silver or bronze, or certain types of food and drink, including liquors.

To visit Guanajuato, simply fly into the state capital. The international airport here has flights to and from Mexico's major destinations as well as several US airports. There are car-hire companies at the airport but if you'd like a driver as well, it's best to book this before you come to Mexico. You only need to check online for companies that offer this service. Most offer online bookings as well.
