Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Glorieta La Minerva, Av. Ignacio L. Vallarta, Guadalajara 44690 MexicoSymbol of the most important of modern Guadalajara is, without a doubt, La Minerva. This colossal figure became a meeting center to celebrate the triumphs of the Mexican national team and the Chivas and a must-see for tourists, who come to take the photo of the memory.The statue depicts the Roman goddess Minerva with indigenous features. It's eight meters tall and made of bronze. At the foot of the sculpture is read the motto "Justice, Wisdom and Strength, guard this loyal City".Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Escultura La Estampida, Avenida Ninos Heroes y Avenida Lopez Mateos, Guadalajara MexicoIt is a sculpture of 14 galloping horses, each of these horses has its own movement (they are not the same).This monument represents the foundation of the city and the Coat of Arms of Guadalajara. It is made of bronze and represents the escape of 14 horses, artistically very well achieved.It was designed and elaborated by Jorge de la PeñaThe sculpture of the horses was removed from the López Portillo Garden in 1997 and was taken to the junction of López Mateos Avenue and Niños Héroes, a point that the Jaliscienses have called the Glorieta de los Caballos because it is the place where the piece now resides. Duration: 30 minutesStop At: Templo Expiatorio del Santisimo Sacramento, Calle Lopez Cotilla 935 Zona Centro, Guadalajara 44100 MexicoThe history of the Expiatory dates back to 1897 when a group of Catholic faithful led by then-Archbishop Pedro Loza organized a competition to decide who would be in charge of building this church. The chosen one was the Italian Adamo Boari who at the time was in Mexico, brought by President Porfirio Díaz to perform works as important as the Palace of Fine Arts in present-day Mexico City.In August 1897 it began its construction, but was interrupted in 1911 due to the Mexican Revolution that paralyzed the country. Years later, on January 6, 1927, it was resumed by architect Ignacio Díaz Morales and completed until 1972.Built of hand-carved quarry stone, its impressive facade is divided into three sections topped in pinnacle. In each section stand out its doors of granadillo wood, and white marble in its medallions, as well as the figures embedded in bronze on Eucharistic themes.Duration: 1 hour 30 minutesStop At: Guadalajara Cathedral, Av Alcalde 10 Zona Centro, Guadalajara 44100 MexicoThe cathedral of Guadalajara, or cathedral basilica of the Assumption of Maria Santísima is a cathedral of Mexico, parish seat of the archdiocese of Guadalajara and one of the most representative buildings of the city, for its towers with neo-Gothic needles and for its beautiful history.Duration: 20 minutesStop At: Teatro Degollado, Av.
