The University of Guanajuato is one of the largest universities in all of Mexico. It has about…read more33,828 students but alas not all of them are based on the one featured in my photographs. The UG as it is known by locales has some 14 schools throughout the state of Guanajuato. This one located in the Centro Historico section is special. It does not need a PE department just take a look a look at all those steps. I counted 83 from bottom to top so not only do you get an education but a serious cardio workout. It was created in 1732 and is a very prestigious University. The UG just stands out wherever you are in the city. We stayed at Hotel De La Paz which was about 200 feet from the steps. Some of the rooms at Hotel Del La Paz have balconies that look out upon those 83 steps. We encountered many students who told us how proud they were of being students at UG and that the faculty at UG was the best. Most were in uniforms which is common in Mexico and they often congregated at cafes and restaurants nearby. Sometimes a group of students would be on the steps working on a study group. We did not take a tour inside but after talking with more than twenty students and one professor it was clear that UG is among the best in Mexico and was super chill to visit.
