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.

I took my two kids, ages 8 and 6, and my friend took hers (same ages), and we went on a Burro Trek with Zoe and Juan Manuel.  The hike was fantastic!

Beautiful!  I have lived here 11 years and never saw the things and paths where they took us.  Juan Manuel knows a lot about the area and shares his knowledge, and the FOOD FOR LUNCH was amazing!!!! Delicious!

My kids very much enjoyed riding the burros and besides just a trek, Juan Manuel took us to a natural springs, some prehistoric cave paintings, and ceremonial grounds.... it was beyond fantastic.  

I highly recommend this activity for all ages. We had a great time and will do it again when my mom comes to visit!

Thank you for the lovely trek.  Everything was perfect.  Well, almost.  Those leg cramps - cramped my style!  
I've written a post of praise for you and your group and will post it.

Gracias !

Zoe, thank you so much for coordinating the campo trek today.   Jack and I enjoyed it thoroughly.  Beautiful country, friendly animals, wonderful food, really great people and our guardian angel Turbo........a splendid combination!

You should charge more.  I would have paid that for the lunch alone.  It was delicious.
