It is estimated that more than 20 million people visit each year, especially on December 12, the day of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Antigua Basilica de Guadalupe

When you arrive, you will start by visiting the Old Basilica, built in the 18th century. This jewel of the Mexican Baroque was the main shrine until 1976, when the new Basilica was inaugurated due to the sinking ground. Your guide will explain its history, architecture and the challenges it faced during centuries of existence. The reason for its importance dates back to 1531, when the Virgin Mary appeared to the indigenous Juan Diego. According to tradition, the Virgin left her image miraculously printed on the tilma (cloak) of the young man, an image that is still preserved, more than 490 years later, in perfect condition and displayed on the main altar of the sanctuary.
