SUNRISE WITH A HINT OF COFFEE

Upon reaching the magic town of Todos Santos, you’ll stop right in front of Workshop 17, recognized for two things: its excellent coffee and handmade bread. Start with a light bite and continue on with the tour of this beautiful town; through its Centennial Street heading to the main square, admiring the Todos Santos Mission, the great Manuel Márquez de León General Theater, and the mythical Hotel California. We will also tell you about the imaginary line of the Tropic of Cancer that passes through this town and which largely determines the microclimate that makes this place so special.

GOLDEN ROUTE TO EL TRIUNFO
11:15 AM

We climb back to the vehicle and set out for a 74-kilometer route via highway No.19 towards El Triunfo. If you’re prone to car sickness we recommend to take medication since a stretch of curves awaits while cruising the area of ​​the Sierra de la Laguna.

Getting to El Triunfo is almost like traveling through time. This small town of 327 inhabitants was founded 300 years ago, motivated by the abundance of gold and silver in the region. Here a guide awaits, and will tell you all there is to know about the remains of that abundant past and show you spots like the La Ramona, a fireplace 47 meters high designed by the Frenchman Alexandre Gustave Eiffel, or the Parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe.

You will notice the white facades and pastel colors, a particular detail of the aesthetics in this community. A few meters away you will find the Music Museum, which keeps old instruments, especially pianos, a vestige of immigrants from Germany, Italy and France who lived here during the golden age of El Triunfo.

MEXICAN GOLD LUNCH
1:00 PM

Several people dressed in the mining style of the 1890s await to guide you along the golden route, in honor of Mexican corn. This didactic workshop will teach you more about this basic Mexican product. You will learn about the 64 varieties of corn that exist, of which 59 are native to our country.

In your hands you will have the Nal Tel type cob, originally from Yucatan, widely used for tortillas or totopos; the grains of the Jala type, perfect for the typical pozole; the cacahuazintle with a floury but tasty texture when well roasted; or the chapalote sown on the coast of the Sea of ​​Cortez and detectable for its reddish color and its high quality when turned into flour.

After the lesson comes the meal. The Chef will invite you to open all of your senses; to listen, see, smell and taste this pre-Hispanic gastronomic jewel. The final touch of the Ruta de Oro comes in the form of a menu of sopes, huaraches and uchepos prepared with freshly made dough. While the Chef prepares the dough, he will share details about the process; the grain, cooking process, mixing and grounding. Doña Ramona’s comal will warm the dough to give life to the natural tortilla, made without any conservatives. Try an itacate and compare its flavor with commercial tortillas.

Finish your meal with the uchepo, a tamale made with tender milled corn and a touch of milk, it has a sweet taste and soft consistency.
