Villanueva is located approximately 40 minutes southwest of Zacatecas City.
The closest airport is General Leobardo C. Ruiz International Airport (ZCL), approximately 45–60 minutes from Villanueva.
We will be happy to pick you up from the airport or arrange transportation for you. Rental cars, taxis, and private transportation are also available.
Staying in Villanueva for convenience. Staying in Zacatecas City if you'd like more hotel options, restaurants, and sightseeing. On the wedding night, we highly recommend staying in Villanueva or at the Hacienda (wedding venue).
Yes. U.S. citizens will need a valid passport to travel to Mexico and return to the United States. The DNR (Derecho de Visitante No Remitente) Fee or Tourist Tax: This is roughly $46 USD (approx.

October is one of the best times to visit Zacatecas. Expect: Daytime: 70–80°F (21–27°C) Evening: 45–60°F (7–16°C) Bring a light jacket for the evenings.
Semi-Formal. Evenings can be cool, so we recommend bringing a light jacket or shawl.
As with any destination, use normal travel precautions. We recommend staying with family and friends, using reputable transportation, and avoiding carrying large amounts of cash.
The Mexican Peso (MXN). Most businesses in Zacatecas city accept credit cards, but in Villanueva we highly recommend bringing MXN cash.
For most travelers, using a debit card at a major bank ATM (BBVA, Banorte, Santander, HSBC) usually provides a better exchange rate than a casa de cambio. When using an ATM: Decline any offered "guaranteed exchange rate" or currency conversion. Let your bank perform the conversion. Use ATMs attached to bank branches. I would recommend: Exchange a small amount at the airport upon arrival if needed. Withdraw pesos from a major bank ATM in Zacatecas City or Guadalupe. Avoid exchanging large amounts at hotels, which often have less favorable rates. There are also exchange houses in Villanueva. Cambio De Dolares Centro Cambiario S.A. De C.V. - C.
