Nominated as a World Heritage site by UNESCO and recently declared Magical Village, San Sebastian is truly an unspoiled place to explore. Just over a century ago an estimated 30.000 people lived there. Today, there are only about 600 people remaining. The mines are long closed but the charm and beauty of the village is still there. While visiting San Sebastian, we will explore the local coffee plantation, where you can see the whole process from the trees to the roasting of the beans and sample the organically grown coffee. We will visit the museum of Doña Conchita and learn the history of San Sebastian. A stroll through the main plaza and a stop at the local church is also included in this tour.
Before you head back to Vallarta, you will visit the treasure of the area, the Hacienda Jalisco. This former silver hacienda is now operating as a bed and breakfast with a museum. It was a favorite hideaway for legendary director John Huston as well as his friends, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Included is an informative guided tour of the Hacienda and the museum
