Santa Fe Photographic Workshops

Experience San Miguel de Allende!

With a vibrant culture, rich heritage, and colorful fiestas, San Miguel de Allende is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a charming town, with narrow cobblestone streets that wind through colonial-era buildings. Home to an international community of artists, San Miguel is an ideal refuge to immerse yourself in a photographic journey. San Miguel and the State of Guanajuato remain safe tourist destinations and the exchange rate currently strongly favors the U.S. dollar.
