Cortazar

In Cortazar, the authentic “Town with Soul” of Guanajuato, every street breathes culture and tradition. When you wake up, the aroma of cheese gorditas and crumbs invites you to savor breakfast, while you can't resist the pickled peanuts that crunch with that unique touch. Later, try the tender kid or try a beef hot dog and sausage tacos: here the gastronomy is a feast of creativity and local flavor.

Its Main Garden is the beating heart of the city, the scene of the famous Verbena Cortazar, the great monthly gathering where artisans and cooks exhibit alfeñique, flaked wax and regional delicacies surrounded by music and smiles. Walking around, you will discover in the Cultural Center the Archeology Room: a permanent collection of Chupícuaro pottery that reveals the millenary origin of this soil.

If you are looking for adventure, the Cerro de Culiacán trail, a Natural Protected Area, offers unforgettable panoramic views and the fluttering of the breeze among cactus and mesquite trees. When April arrives, the Festivity of the Holy Cross of Culiacán lights the fire of dance: more than 1,500 dancers gather in the Garden for the Royal Rehearsal, and the next day they climb the hill to honor their patron saint with ancestral music. In May, Corpus Christi dresses the streets with offerings of flaked wax, a religious tradition that culminates in the Parish of San José under a mantle of faith and colors.

Cortazar embraces you with the warmth of its people, its corners full of history and the excitement of living each party as if it were the first. Come and let yourself be conquered by its art, its flavors and its hospitality: here, every step feels like a homecoming.
