Itinéraire
Prenons un échantillon de saveurs préhispaniques pour le petit-déjeuner. Au milieu de la ville, une ligne de chemin de fer longe une avenue. Là, le dimanche, s'installe le marché aux puces le plus représentatif de la capitale de SLP: le rebond ou mieux connu sous le nom de "las vías".Nous allons essayer un échantillon des saveurs originales de la région de Huasteca Potosina. D'origine mésoaméricaine, l'invité principal est le maïs dans une grande polyvalence de formes. Bocoles, tamales, tacos, sopes, enchiladas le tout combiné avec sauce, fromage et viande. Un petit-déjeuner de champions : grossier et nutritif.
Après le petit déjeuner, il est temps de visiter une distillerie clandestine. El Gran Tunal est un projet d'alchimie pour les esprits du désert de Potosino. Allez main dans la main avec Tomás et Francisco, nos hôtes. Deux distillats uniques de la région se distinguent : un Güisqui (Mexicain pour whisky) à base de maïs ancestral et un gin à la figue de barbarie.
Un peu envoûtés après avoir bu ces alchimies du désert, nous visiterons le « Mercado República ». Les marchés traditionnels sont l'échantillon culturel le plus authentique d'une destination. Les gens, les odeurs, les couleurs, le mouvement, le chaos, le bruit, la phytothérapie, l'artisanat et les traditions les plus enracinées des vrais habitants de cette ville coloniale.Après avoir parcouru ses couloirs folkloriques, goûté les fameuses "enchiladas potosinas" et eu l'occasion de achetez un souvenir, notre visite se termine au point de rendez-vous; même où nous avons commencé notre aventure culinaire.

Miguel was an excellent tour guide! He’s extremely knowledgeable and a great host. San Luis Potosi is lucky to have him as an ambassador for the city and the region.
We had an amazing time with Miguel. He is passionate about the history of SLP and it shows. He took us on an amazing journey where we learn about corn trough the history of the town and it was awesome! We ate corn , drank corn (corn whiskey) and visited the market and learned so much about how the locals shop and what they eat. We saw real artisanal shops not just commercialized stuff. If you go to SLP you need him to be your tour guide! You won’t regret it!
This was an amazing tour that I would recommend to anyone visiting San Luis Potosí! Miguel is very knowledgeable about the history and local nature. We experienced lesser known areas of the city through the lens of corn. We first ate at a delicious local breakfast spot where Miguel explained the use of corn in the dishes. We then went to a distillery where Tomás explained the whiskey distillation process. Lastly, we went to a local market where vendors shared their stories and Miguel translated.
A wonderful tour of the lesser known areas and cultural experiences not as often experienced as a visitor to this beautiful city! Miguel provided a wealth of information and really appreciated the tour of the whiskey distillery with Thomas as well as the willingness of vendors in the market to happily volunteer information to be translated by Miguel. A great opportunity!
The tour was great. It started with a delicious breakfast at a local cafe. Miguel explained the various types of corn the was used and how the corn is processed. After breakfast we went to a distillery and the owner went through the distilling process. Very interesting and Tomás, the owner, was so nice. We ended by walking through a local market to see the various foods, produce, and goods. It was a lovely day.
Great tour. Excellent Huastecan breakfast, super interesting distillery tour with tastings with the owner Tomas, and then seeing the mercado and trying the local enchilada was fun. We’ve traveled around Mexico for 1000s KM amd 23 states and these tours are wonderful as an orientation to each city and Miguel was an awesome guide. I definitely recommend you do this tour early in your visit to SLP as he has lots of great recommendations of other things to see and do.
San Luis Potosí is a city with a lot of history and this allows you to enjoy family or alone and take some good photos. It is worth spending a few days in this excellent State of the Mexican Republic.
The highlight of my trip so far. Miguel puts it all together in such a fascinating yet accessible way—geography, history, culture, food—in a series of rich, behind-the-scenes, friendly encounters with the real San Luis Potosí. Made me think about who I want to come back with.
Miguel did an excellent job explaining the history of the area and brining people to another part of the city. Would recommend this to anyone and specially the portion visiting the distillery.
The certified tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and very kind. He did an excellent job of telling us about local culture and history and tied it all in beautifully with the scheduled stops. The food was incredible! The distillery stop was very educational and the it was very pleasant talking with the owner. Touring the market was a blast and interacting with the local stand owners and operators was amazing. Miguel (the tour guide) did a fantastic job representing the local culture and we left the tour feeling very full, very happy and a little more knowledgeable on the history of San Luis Potosi!
