  • Packing Tips

    The most important thing to bring is your passport!

    Please make sure it does NOT expire within 6 months of the wedding date.

    San Miguel de Allende is in the high desert, which means gorgeous days and cold nights.

    In late August, the weather during the day is likely to be in the mid-70s F and mid-50s at night.

    Comfortable walking shoes, the streets are almost all cobblestone.

    Sweater or jacket for the cool mornings and evenings.
