The view at the top of the page, of
the valley, was taken from Hacienda Jacarandas, which is a beautiful
Bed & Breakfast
run by long time residents Bill and Guy, see below.
The town is also surrounded by ranches and the main topic of conversation is...
you guessed it.. Horses
If your Spanish is good, you will find it easy to rent horses to explore the
valley and nearby there are many nice waterfalls to visit.
There is now a Cyber Cafe in town but you'll find it hard to see a tourist. So
a very clean, laid back and quiet town awaits your visit.
One excelent reatuarant is the Casa Grande, with a nice view looking down on the town, very good steaks and seafood.

Getting There
The bus to Talpa de Allende make a breakfast stop at the turn-of
to San Sebastian at Estancia, and then continues to Mascota with
a brief stop
and on to Talpa.
 Three
Red Line busses leave every day to Talpa de Allende from the corner
of Calle Lucerna and Calle Havre, red on the MAP in
Colonia Versalles, at 9AM, 2:30PM and 6PM. Two Blue Line busses at
8:30Am and 4:30PM leave from behind Plaza Las Glorias, blue on the MAP.
You can purchase your ticket there or purchase the tickets at least
one day in advance at this small store in downtown that sells the
tickets, finding it is another challenge!Above Parque Hidalgo is a church, if you walk up the street
to the left
of it for
one block and a third, you come to a side street, across from you on
that street you will see a small store, just one door, and on it
a sign saying they sell tickets
to Mascota & Talpa de Allende.
See photo at the right..

You can also drive there yourself, the
new road and bridge make it an easy two and a half to three hour
trip.
