Take a surprising adventure with Travelian Tours to San Sebastian de Bernal! Visit this astonishing location, and take in the Peña and more with a small group of curious travelers.

San Sebastian de Bernal is a small town in the Mexican state of Queretaro and is known as a peaceful place to explore on foot. This magic town (Pueblo Magico) founded in 1642, offers many craft shops selling local gems and crystals, woolen goods, cheese products, cajeta and artisanal sweets around a pleasant town square with structures from the 17th and 18th centuries.

At 433 m (1,421 feet) this 8-million-year old monolith is the third tallest in the world. We will begin our visit to Bernal at the base of this magnificent monolith and have time for a gentle hike up its path, while taking in the surrounding landscape views.

Then we’ll drive into the village and have lunch at a fine restaurant near the town square. After enjoying lunch together, there will be free time to experience this tranquil, friendly town by shopping, exploring and taking memorable photographs.

Join Travelian´s expert guides and travel in comfort and safety on this stimulating one-day adventure!
