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.

Scouting treks


As we add to our repertoire of treks, we have to go scouting.  Some of these scouting treks are actually the most fun.  We get not seriously lost; take a wrong turn and stumble across a stream of multiple sorts of butterflies, drinking; the burro goes missing.  We may or may not quite get to where the original plan called for.  

We thought we would keep the destination a surprise. 

Because they are fun we thought we would open them up to the more adventuresome.  Given that things happen we thought we would charge less.  

Driving varies Usually around 20-40 minutes one way
Trekking We always aim for 3 hours 
Lunch We still provide, but it might be a bit more simple as we are working hard
Cost 150 pesos 
Level Just about everyone.  If you tire easily, don’t go.  Too many surprises.  If you have a deadline for returning, don't go.  Things happen. 
Meet Mega  9:30 am
