Offers of Guided Tours Tepic

Tourists should make it a point to visit the capital of each state they travel to, as this is usually where the most history and culture can be found. We suggest visiting Tepic because its buildings, haciendas, and countless museums will enchant you, and the city is surrounded by the splendour of the Sierra Madre Occidental, a mix of rural and urban.

Tepic is the most populated city in Nayarit, and it is still home to indigenous civilizations such as the Huichol and Coras, another reason to get to learn about their culture and way of life today. Here are some ideas of tours and excursions that you can choose from to get to know in detail what we have mentioned above.

What to do in Tepic?

- Tour of Tepic's historic centre:Also known as a 'city tour', this is almost a mandatory tour that can run anywhere from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the places you want to see and how much time you have to go sightseeing. With this tour, you will be able to go towards the centre, where you will find columns defending the notable monuments and learn who they are dedicated to, thanks to the guide's explanation. The Sangangüey volcano and the hot pools are generally included in these itineraries. If you have more time, you can visit Bellavista's old textile plant and museums; we recommend visiting the Regional Museum and the House of Amado Nervo.

- Coffee Route Tour:Although the coffee business in Nayarit is still not exploited, we must point out that it is one of the richest in the Mexican Republic. We recommend doing this guided tour because of this factor. You will have an aromatic and flavorful experience with trips ranging from half a day to a full day. The tour will begin with a visit to one of the roasters, where you will be able to appreciate the wide range of coffee beans on display at an educational exhibition, followed by a walk through the coffee estates, where professionals will explain the entire process from cultivation to care. In this type of tour, you should not miss a well-deserved tasting accompanied by dishes from the region. It will be an exquisite delight for your palate.

- Gastronomic tour in Tepic:If you prefer tourism that begins with the palate and ends with the stomach, then include a tour of the city's best restaurants in your itinerary! You can sample dishes primarily made of fish and seafood and delicious tostadas de chicharron and shrimp stews. This unique journey will require a lot of appetite and the desire to sample some of Nayarit's most exquisite flavours.

Tepic will enchant you not only with its enormous gastronomic diversity, but also with the friendliness of its people, the surrounding scenery with the Sierra Madre hills, and the colonial architecture. As you walk through its streets, you will discover the history that has been preserved since the kingdom of New Galicia.

Other things that we recommend you visit include visiting the marketplaces, where you will find Huichol items with a strong colour theme. We recommend visiting the capital in March, as this is the city's fair season, and the ambience and old vendors will give a special touch to your trip. Visit Tepic, which will provide you with far more than you think.
