Our Lady of Guadalupe: A Catholic Pilgrimage to Mexico with Select International

The Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe continues to be the most visited Catholic pilgrimage site in the world. Millions of pilgrims flock to Tepeyac Hill each year to see where the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531. The miraculous tilma is now showcased in the circular basilica, which allows all in attendance a view of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe behind the altar.

Mexico is rich in art, architecture, and history.

The Aztecs and the Mayans built tremendous pyramid complexes in Mexico and left a tremendous collection of art and artifacts. Their influence can still be seen throughout the country.

Catholicism came to Mexico with the Spanish in the sixteenth century, and their influence on art and architecture made every Catholic site in Mexico a feast for the eyes. While Our Lady of Guadalupe is a major draw, Mexico is full of moving accounts of the Catholic faith, including the martyr Blessed Miguel Pro and the great Catholic mystic of the 20th century, Blessed Conchita Cabrera.
