Q + A

Getting here in the mountains of San Luis Potosi, Real de Catorce is a journey back in time steeped in mystique, history and breathtaking landscapes. Reaching this magical town is part of the adventure. Where should I fly into?The nearest airport is Ponciano Arriaga International Airport (San Luis Potosi) in San Luis Potosi. The airport is ~3.5 hours from the venue. Rental cars will be available at the airport and the recommended travel option. Getting to the venue:The most common route is via Matehuala, located about 2.5 hours from San Luis Potosi City. From Matehuala follow signs to Cedral, then take winding cobblestone road to Real de Catorce. Be prepared for a slow but scenic drive through the Ogarrio Tunnel, a 2.3 kilometer passage that leads you into the heart of the town. Travel Recommendations:The airport in San Luis Potosi is within a big city with activities to do within and outdoor adventures around. We recommend coming in at least 1 day early and planning for activities suggested in "Thing to Do" before and after the wedding if possible. The venue is in Real de Catorce, a mountain top by the city of Matehuala. If you are planning for city and outdoor excursions in San Luis Potosi, please book a night in the city and travel to Real de Catorce the day of the celebration. On the wedding day, it is recommend to book one of the many hotels in Real de Catorce near the venue so as to avoid driving down a mountain at night. Weather:Expect cooler temperatures year round, especially in the evenings.
