A DAY TRIP TO PEÑA DE BERNAL
Day Trip To Peña de Bernal

The Wine And Cheese Trail
Check Out The Monolith Or Hike It
Wander The Streets
As a Pueblo Mágico, Bernal is quite touristy and gets busy. Therefore I recommend visiting during the weekday if possible. Regardless, the town is gorgeous, and the Peña monolith’s backdrop makes it more stunning. In addition, there are many shops and handicrafts you can purchase or browse as you walk along the streets.
Stop By The Church
The Parroquia San Sebastian is the church that decorates the small town of Bernal. You can go inside and take a look, or you can sit outside and admire it as you eat a snack. Behind it, you have an incredible view of Peña.

How To Get There
Where To Stay
If you are only going for a day trip from Queretaro, then you can stay in the city center of Queretaro. It is the most convenient spot for walking around and getting to the main sites. I stayed at Septimo Hostel, which also has some great private rooms. The shared rooms are were as low as 9 USD. It was only a 15-minute walk to the main areas of the city center.
What to Pack
- Water Bottle: This area of Mexico is hot, near 90 degrees. I recommend taking a water bottle that keeps your water cold.
- Daypack: I always travel with a small daypack to carry for day trips. It’s perfect for having hands-free and carrying your cash, water, clothes, towels, and extra shoes. I also bring my phone, GoPro, phone charger, and sunscreen.
- Mirrorless:To capture the best moments and spots with the best quality.
- Power Bank: It is essential that the cell phone is always charged and this powerbank is a great option.
- Sunscreen: It´s good to take care of your skin and eco-friendly.
- Drone: Your photos and videos with a drone will give you a wider and more wonderful view.
Travel Booking Resources
Book Your Flight:
To find cheap flights, check Skyscanner and Google Flights. These search engines check airlines to find you the best deals. The more flexibility you have, the better flight deals available.
Book Your Accommodation:
Booking.com is my favorite booking site for hotels but it also shows great deals on hostels and apartments. Plus, when you reach Genius Level, you get special discounts, included breakfasts, and upgrades on some hotel rooms. Hostelworld is specifically for budget travelers who enjoy hostels. This is the best place for finding great options.
Don’t Forget Travel Insurance and Visa Applications:
Travel insurance will protect you against theft, injury, illness, and cancellations. Sometimes unexpected things happen during a trip and protections will keep you covered. Two great options are: Safety Wing and World Nomads. Also, iVisa can help you get a visa if you need one.
Book Tours:
Sometimes the best way to see a place is through tours. I recommend checking out Get Your Guide for some fun and unique adventures wherever you go.
