Huasteca Potosina 4 Day Tour
Day 1: San Luis Potosí - Xilitla
When you land at San Luis Potosi International Airport, we'll be waiting for you in the arrivals hall. We'll hit the road for a 5-hour drive to get to the hotel where we'll spend the night.
Day 2: Xilitla - Ciudad Valle
Good morning! We'll have a delicious breakfast at the hotel in Xilitla and then drive to the Sculpture Garden of Edward James. This spectacular space has over 30 sculptures that exhibit Gothic and Egyptian influences. As you explore the staircases leading nowhere, castles, houses and columns, we'll tell you all about this place.
Next, we'll head to the centre of Xilitla. We'll visit the Leonora Carrington Sculpture Museum, which is dedicated to one of Mexico's most important artists. She was also a prominent figure in surrealist art. We'll discuss the sculptures, jewellery, engravings and personal objects exhibited in the museum.

The tour will then take us to the Tamasopo Waterfalls, which are surrounded by dense greenery. While we admire the views, we'll hear the soothing sound of the water tumbling down the rocks from a height of 65 feet (20 metres). Afterwards, you'll have some free time to eat lunch at your leisure.
We'll then head back to our accommodation in San Luis Potosí.
