Colorful historic architecture, narrow cobblestone streets and walls of meandering bougainvillea give San Miguel de Allende its relaxed allure, while the welcoming hospitality and stunning venues keep visitors coming back to the area time and again. Located just fifteen minutes' drive from the city, Luna Escondida is a sprawling private ranch that stands out as a local highlight, complete with extensive gardens and groves, spacious villas and plenty of gathering spaces.
Event planning and design expert Jesse Tombs recently worked with the Luna Escondida team to create a four-day familiarization trip for a select group of industry folks to visit the property. Over the course of the retreat, guests enjoyed everything from horseback riding and yoga to exploring the town and attending beautiful, relaxed dinners throughout the property. Here, Jesse gives us the full scoop on this gorgeous venue and shares some of his favorite highlights of San Miguel.
