FAQs

Question

Is it safe?

Answer

Locals, including the 10% of ex-pat Americans who live there permanently, are very friendly and welcoming to tourists. San Miguel is a very safe place; however, we would ask that you use common sense as when you are traveling anywhere, whether in the US or internationally. If you take a taxi, make sure you use a green or white one (these are official). Also make sure to agree on a rate to your destination before getting accepting the ride. A ride within the city should cost between 30 pesos and 60 pesos. If you are quoted higher, just ask if they will take less.

Question

What is the weather like?

Answer

The weather in San Miguel is warm during the day but cool in the evening. April averages high 80's/low 90’s and drops down to the 50's at night. Be prepared with light clothing, a hat and sunscreen during the day and a light jacket or sweater for cool evenings.

Question

Is there Zika Virus?

Answer

There is no Zika virus in San Miguel de Allende or Mexico City. The virus is carried by a strain of mosquito (Aedes species) that is not found in high altitude areas – including the majority of Central Mexico. Therefore, since the carrier of the virus does not exist in San Miguel/Mexico City, there have been no cases of Zika in the area and there is no risk of infection for our guests.

Question

How long should I stay?

Answer

We know that time away from home and work is precious so we recommended making the most of your trip and staying as long as you can! Wedding events will take place Thursday through Friday and we will keep everyone updated!

Question

Do I need to rent a car?

Answer

We do not recommend renting a car. San Miguel is a relatively small dense town with narrow, cobblestone streets. The city is extremely walkable but please pack comfortable shoes!! Also, cabs are everywhere and very cheap!
