Explore one of Mexico's best kept secrets, the San Sebastian del Oeste, on a seven hour tour departing from Nuevo and Puerto Vallarta. San Sebastian is an old mining town in a remote area of the Sierra Madre Mountains that has an elevation of 4,500 feet. The drive is accompanied by majestic mountain scenery.
The San Sebastian area was originally settled in 1605, and this secluded mining town reached its peak of progress in the 1700s, when over thirty thousand people lived in this area. Currently with just 600 people residing in it, this beautiful mountain village has kept its true colonial heritage. San Sebastian is a prime example of a traditional Mexican village and is well known for its cattle and trade. San Sebastian is also a popular area for agave and coffee production. This tour includes the scenic drive to San Sebastian as well as a guided tour of the town, which includes stops at old mining areas.
