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.

Trek: Laja river (birding possible)

There is something magically calming about this one.  We wander along the river ... under lacy trees ... and past a landscape that seems quite Italian, gazing out at old ruins complete with a distant hill town punctuated with Cyprus trees.   It is level and very easy.  Lots of birds and ducks.  Our picnic area is in a grassy area with fallen logs to sit on.  This is also good for easy overnight camping.
Driving 40 total, 20 minutes each way
Trekking 2 hours
Lunch 1 hour 
Cost  200 pesos ... burro back 100 extra. 
Level  Anyone.  
Birding?   Yes.  Very good.
Meet  Bodega 9:30 am  ... (request Mega if that is easier for you.)

So plan on more than 4 hours all inclusive.
