Getting to

Driving and parking in SMA can be a challenge. The roads are very narrow, cobblestone roads and many in the city are one way roads. Traffic can be pretty crazy!
There is no designated parking for Casa Illuminada. Street parking near the house is extremely scarce and the closest paid parking is about ½ mile or 800 m from the house

Driving & Parking

Uber is readily available in San Miguel
There are also many taxis available and many operators speak both Spanish and English
Taxis from the center of town to Casa Illuminada should cost about $60 pesos ($3.00 US)
Buses are available for longer trips such as going to Guanajuato for the day and there are several tour operators in the city.
Again, BajioGo is a reputable operator and great source for getting you where you want to go
