With Juan Manuel

Juan Manuel is a shaman who knows the flowers ... plants ... herbs ... and birds ... with a vast knowledge of the area, the history and the folk lore of San Miguel de Allende ... who wants to share his joy in the campo.


What do we do? We take a walk in the campo ... have a picnic or bar-b-q ... and usually take a burro to carry what we don’t want to. Occasionally we ride a burro.


Burro Trekking has recently been optimized in that all treks are now custom designed for you and your group.


If you want a trek ... Contact us and we will begin working together. What kind of trek do you want? Easy? Challenging? Overnight? Something from our list? Something new? Something for kids? (They trek at half price.) Talk to us!!


Unless otherwise noted, for a short day trek prices are 200 each with a minimum of 1,000 pesos. If transportation has to be arranged ...that is ... more than 3 people need a ride provided ... then there is an extra fee.


For a longer day trek, it is 250 per person, with a minimum of 1,200 pesos. Transportation same as above


These prices include food ... burro ... some transportation ... perhaps a guard for the vehicles.


If you would like to add to your group, then we can help you advertise on the forum and / or we can send out a mailing to see if other Trekkers would like to join you.


You get to decide things like ... we want dogs ... or ... no dogs cause we want quiet times to watch for birds. You can specify no smokers. You decide if time is important to you cause you have an evening appointment ... or ... we are relaxed and let the day have its way with us.

Aqua Espina . Wednesday 24th . easy

It is time to offer two levels of treks.  Those for the "A" group ... which is usually Ahead ... and the "B" group ... which is usually Behind. 

The A treks will soon be on weekends ... because these people are usually younger and perhaps working.  These are a continuation of what we have been doing.  Sometimes the trek is suitable for everyone, where the B group will rest at the lunch spot while the A group goes on wearing themselves out. 

The first of the B treks ... also known as (Sin) Burro Fitness Treks ... will be Tuesday the 16th if enough sign up ... or more probably Wednesday the 24th.  

It is to Aqua Espina.  It involves first a canyon where we will stop for a simple lunch ... a truly good deli type sandwich, pink lemonade ... then more trail til we reach an Indiana Jones lost pyramid and surrounding ruins.  We will scramble around a bit, and then take another path back to the car. 

This is called Sin Burro cause there ain't gonna be one!  But we will carry your lunch!!!

Begin:   Bodega parking lot ... orange umbrella ... 9:30 am 
Drive:   15 minutes there and 15 minutes back 
Trek:    1.5 to 2 hours including lunch and looking at plants and things
Return: About noon to Bodega

Price:    150 pesos
