They attract butterflies and birds which I enjoyed watching from the pools. There is also a restaurant on site, several spaces with tables and chairs for lounging, and a small spa.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tunnel-la-gruta-spa-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"And upclose view of the tunnel that leads to the cave at La Gruta Spa near San Miguel de Allende.

a sidewalk and shade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main draw to this tiny pueblo is the Sanctuary of Atotonilco, a <a href=\"https:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/1274\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/a>. This church is regularly referred to as the \u201cSistine Chapel of Mexico\u201d because of the intricate murals that adorn the interior archways, walls, and ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Painted primarily by one man over the course of 30 years, these murals depict the life of Jesus Christ in a style called Mexican Folk Baroque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Tip <\/strong>&#8211; Before going inside, make your way to the food stalls located on the street directly past the church. Here you can <strong>eat blue corn gorditas stuffed with your choice of guisado<\/strong> (stew) and wash it down with a refreshing glass of the water of the day.<br><br>They start to wrap up around 4 pm, so if you arrive hungry after soaking in the hot springs, you should make this your first stop in Atotonilco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you decide to only explore Atotonilco as a day trip from San Miguel de Allende, you can take a taxi or a bus. The bus to return to San Miguel leaves Atotonilco from <a href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/YvddpeEd1VTKyfYm6\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this location<\/a> every hour (closer to 15 minutes past the hour) from 7 am to 5 pm. I&#8217;ve heard it&#8217;s difficult to find a taxi in Atotonilco, so this is probably the easiest way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to visit Atotonilco and Dolores Hidalgo as one San Miguel de Allende day trip, then <strong><a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Dolores Hidalgo Day Trip\" href=\"https:\/\/culturestraveled.com\/recommends\/dolores-hidalgo-day-trip\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">book this highly rated tour with a knowledgeable guide<\/a><\/strong>.

While it\u2019s considered a botanical garden, I think it&#8217;s best described as a nature preserve with a large collection of cactus and other native plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Tip<\/strong> &#8211; Ask for a map of the grounds when you pay the entrance fee. It will help you to identify different areas such as the Solar Observatory, the Plaza of the Four Winds, and the Sculpture Walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s the views you\u2019re after, follow the paths to the left after you enter. Walking along the northernmost path will give you views of the deep canyon below and the city to the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to Get to El Charco del Ingenio<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s possible to walk from San Miguel to El Charco Botanical Gardens. Although it&#8217;s a bit strenuous as you will be winding up into the hills. If you only want to walk part of the way, I recommend taking a taxi there and walking back (downhill) to centro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could easily spend all day exploring the massive grounds of El Charco del Ingenio. However, I&#8217;m going to guess most visitors max out at 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-7-background-color has-background\"><strong>Did you know?<\/strong> On Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 am, El Charco del Ingenio hosts a Natural History Tour from 10 am to 12 pm.

Plus you\u2019ll want to get an early start if you plan to hike Pe\u00f1a de Bernal. If you have the time, several of these day trips could turn easily into a weekend trip from San Miguel de Allende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
