What awaits you on this tour?

On this exclusive tour, you will explore the Mask Museum of San Miguel de Allende, a cultural jewel created by Bill LeVasseur. 

The museum houses more than 600 authentic masks collected from indigenous communities throughout Mexico, many of which are more than 200 years old and were used during the dances of traditional festivities.

This place is a true tribute to the roots of Mexico, presenting masks made of different materials such as clay, leather, wood and papier-mâché, representing divinities, animals and figures of nature.

Your guide, Bill, shares his in-depth knowledge and experience as a collector, telling the story behind each mask and explaining the symbolism behind them.

In addition to admiring this impressive collection, you can watch a video about the dances in which these masks come to life.

The tour ends at Casa de la Cuesta, a charming Bed & Breakfast where you can enjoy a drink and a snack, surrounded by spectacular views of San Miguel de Allende.

It's not just a museum; it's a journey through Mexico's cultural roots.
