The transportation from San Miguel de Allende to the Sanctuary of Jesus Nazareno takes about 20 minutes.

Upon arriving at the Sanctuary, you'll see an image of Father Miguel Hidalgo holding a picture of the Virgin of Guadalupe.

Next, we'll admire the main façade of the church, where we'll learn about its founding. We will enter the church respectfully—removing hats or caps—and explore its six sections of the nave, including the Chapel of Our Lady of the Rosary, Our Lady of Loreto, and the Chapels of Calvary and the Holy Sepulchre.
