With the colors of houses cascading down the hills in a chaotic rainbow towards the city center, Guanajuato is a no-brainer dream destination for those travelers who are looking for diversity, tradition, and authenticity. Rich in history as the site of the first battle of the Mexican War of Independence, it is nowadays a UNESCO World Heritage site as a tribute to its place in Mexican culture. If you are the type to plan your itinerary, you can certainly add the stunning yellow Guanajuato Cathedral to your list, along with its accompanying Plaza de la Paz for a bit of lounging relaxation. Those with a morbid curiosity can also visit the famous museum Mummies of Guanajuato, which were taken from the adjoining cemetery. However, this is a city of narrow cobblestone streets and transfixing colors - take advantage of the opportunity to wander, and find a precious spot for yourself!
