Colonial Cities of Mexico
Photos to come
Join us and explore some of the beautiful colonial cities of Mexico. The colonial era of Mexico spanned the 16th to 19th centuries. The great mining towns in the heartland of Mexico accounted for two-thirds of the world's silver production in the 18th century. This accumulation of great wealth enabled the colonists to build beautiful churches, private homes and glorious gardens, many of which are very well maintained today. Led by Anthony Aiello, Director of Horticulture and Curator at the Morris Arboretum, this trip will explore wonderful historic cities and private gardens including San Miguel de Allende, beautiful haciendas near Mineral de Pozos and the colonial city of Guanajuato.
