Your day of discovery begins as you board a comfortable transportation for the 90- minute drive to this 17th-century mining town. Pass through rural Mexican villages and the breathtaking Sierra Madre Mountains on this beautiful drive, ascending 4,500 feet above sea level to the secluded town of San Sebastián. This unique, historic enclave was originally settled as a gold, silver and lead mining town in 1605. By its peak around 1900, an estimated 20,000 people lived here, but today just 600 residents call this quaint town home. But what it lacks in population, San Sebastián makes up for in cultural charms. A traditional way of life is upheld in this remote Mexican village. Agriculture is the primary livelihood, and you'll see cattle as well as corn, coffee and agave on the mountainside. Step off the transportation and begin with a leisure walking tour since exploring the town on foot is the best way to take in the sights. Stop for a photo in front of the classic Porfirian bandstand, and keep your camera at the ready for town's beloved landmark, an 18th century church dedicated to San Sebastián. As you walk along cobbled streets and down narrow passageways admiring the elegant whitewashed haciendas, you'll feel as if you've stepped back into colonial Mexico. The way of life here has hardly changed over hundreds of years. It's no wonder that the town was nominated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While in San Sebastián, your tour will include an exploration of a local coffee plantation, where you can learn about the process from bean to cup; your knowledgeable guide will explain how the coffee is grown, picked and processed. A traditional sit-down lunch is then served in a private traditional location, featuring such regional delights as Mexican salsa, guacamole, handmade tortillas, refried beans, beef, chicken or vegetable fajitas, and refreshing lemonade. Recharged, you can then finish the day with a walking tour of the town's village square. Stop at the local museum to learn more about the cultural significance and history of this secluded paradise that has been preserved for centuries. Before returning to port, you'll visit a local tequila factory to learn how this popular liquor is made. You'll also enjoy a tasting and learn the traditional way to enjoy this beverage – you might be surprised to learn that no salt or lime is needed! Re-board the transportation for a relaxing drive back to port with memories and pictures to share with fellow passengers and friends back home. Hopefully you picked up some souvenirs, too! 9:00 a.m.-10:30 a.m. Drive to San Sebastian 10:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Tour through town visiting coffee plantation, tequila & raicilla, town center with plaza and colonial haciendas. 12:30 p.m.-1:00 p.m. Visit private museum of Doña Conchita 1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m. Lunch 2:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. Drive to cruise port

Casibari boulders are clustered together weighing several tons and creating unique forms. There are walking trails through this rock garden, and a climb to the top of the highest boulder rewards with panoramic views. Baby Natural Bridge- In 2005, the Natural Bridge, a coral limestone formation chiseled by years of pounding waves and powerful winds, collapsed to the dismay of locals and tourists alike. But a smaller bridge, the intact Baby Natural Bridge, is a structurally sound arch carved out of rock and coral and a photogenic island highlight. Alto Vista Chapel- A winding road dotted with crosses brings you to the top of a hill on Aruba's north shore, where this brightly painted, yellow chapel stands proudly. Built in 1952 atop an early 18th century, the present chapel is also known as "Pilgrims Church." California Lighthouse: Named after the steamship California, which sunk off the coast of Aruba, this iconic old-stone lighthouse, built in 1910, offers picture postcard views of the expansive coastline. PHOTO OPPORTUNITY- White crosses marking the Stations of the Cross lead the way to the Alto Vista Chapel. Take time for photos or a walk through the peace labyrinth just a few steps away. SHOPPING- The "Thirst Aid Stop" at the Baby Natural Bridge boasts a bar, dining area, and a gift shop. Exclusive "Biba Dushi" items are sold at this gift shop.
