San Sebastián del Oeste Tour: Discover the colonial charm of the Sierra Madre


What to do

Discover the beauty of the mountains on an exclusive tour to San Sebastián del Oeste from Puerto Vallarta. This experience takes you back in time, immersing you in cobblestone streets, enchanting mist, and colonial architecture. This magical Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Jalisco, nestled within the lush forests of the Sierra Madre Occidental, invites you to escape the chaos of daily life and reconnect with history, tradition, and tranquility.

During this unforgettable day trip from Puerto Vallarta, you will uncover a town that seems frozen in time. San Sebastián del Oeste was once a prosperous mining town during the colonial era, and it still preserves the splendor of its past in every corner. With its whitewashed mansions, tiled roofs, peaceful alleys, and stunning mountainous landscapes, it’s a must-see destination for those who love culture, photography, and nature.

Experience the authentic flavors of the mountains at an artisanal coffee plantation that has been in the same family for generations. Learn about the traditional coffee production process, from bean to cup, while savoring a hot beverage surrounded by breathtaking mountain scenery.

Visit an 18th-century church that retains its original details, step into an artisan silversmith's workshop where metals are fused using ancient techniques, and explore Mexican craft shops filled with vibrant colors, rich history, and local creativity.
