Destination: Viatura Omūn San Miguel de Allende; This is how the journey began
We left Mexico City on Wednesday morning heading to La Venta, a small town on the outskirts of San Miguel de Allende to visit Viatura Omūn, a resort under the glamping concept, made up of tents from South Africa of different sizes and fully equipped, whose olive green tents blend in with the vegetation characteristic of the semi-desert climate, on a 200-hectare plot of land where there is a vineyard, lavender plantations and olive trees through which – naturally – you can (and should ) walk or ride a bike or horseback.
The first thing we thought when we arrived was that we were finishing a road movie after the journey from CDMX to this point in the state of Guanajuato. And after the trip, which was most enjoyable due to the good conversation with Juan José, our driver, we are ready to star in a western or a summer story.
By feeling the heat and the rays of the Sun on our skin, our eyes begin to assimilate the spaciousness of the place and the symbiotic design (so to speak) of the facilities and tents, where stone walls built by hand predominate, the cobbled paths and many wooden details that coexist in harmony with the huizaches, cacti, thorns and other typical plants of the region.
We have two and a half days ahead of us full of dynamic and relaxing activities that, from the beginning, make us think that we will have a pleasant stay. However, that first idea is enriched by discovering new details of the place and being received with the warmth of the staff who, at all times, are responsible for making us feel wonderful.
I wouldn’t say I felt “at home” because only in a place like this do you arrive at your room in a golf cart and, when night falls, you are lulled to sleep by the sounds of crickets and other insects (which do not invade the tents). and you can hear – at a certain distance – the “laughter” of the coyotes who, warned of the presence of humans, prefer to wait for darkness to make their way without crossing paths with anyone.
Plans to enjoy glamping at Viatura Omūn
What is your ideal plan when you take a few days to take refuge in a place like Viatura Omūn, where worries are left behind and all that remains is to let yourself be embraced by the charm of nature and first-class care?
Going for a walk or run at dawn in a terrain where you are practically alone? How about exploring it by bike? Have breakfast in your tent, on your terrace or, better yet, on a floating tray while you enjoy your private jacuzzi? Do you like the idea of cooling off in the pool and ordering a cocktail to let your gaze wander into the horizon? Would you like to eat some delicious ranchero tacos and make the tortillas, cheese and sauces to put them together yourself?
How would you like to eat a delicious barbecue organized by the chef and his team and drink a cold beer at a table set in the middle of the vineyard, to finish off with a delicious cup of coffee? What if you rather participate in a wine tasting and taste a pairing with bites prepared on the spot? Or would you say no to a horse ride to feel a little more immersed in that western that you began to imagine upon your arrival? Maybe you want to watch a movie before going to sleep or look at the stars with a telescope?
All of these plans are available on Viatura Omūn… and we did them all! In this way we live the experience to the fullest and we can say that we would live it again without hesitation.
Glamping: to enjoy nature without sacrificing luxury and comfort
With the concept of glamping, the idea of camping has taken on a glamorous meaning (hence the term) without the possibility of enjoying the luxury of a grand tourism hotel causing the essence of being in contact with the elements of nature to be lost. nature and marvel at the sunrise, the flight of an eagle or the profile of a ravine carved by the passage of time, as it is possible to do on this property.
Before concluding our stay at Viatura Omūn, we did a morning hike along one of the routes that run through the terrain. Nothing more invigorating than walking along the hill, observing the vegetation and appreciating the landscape while we chat with Paco, the director of the place, who tells us about the plans they have to expand this project in the short and medium term.
They are about to complete the construction of a two thousand five hundred square meter spa with facilities such as a gym, treatment cabins, a reflecting pool and other wet areas, among which there will be a clay pool. In addition, by building their own winery, they will create more spaces for lodging and a real estate development for those who wish to have a property in this captivating landscape.
After our walk, a brunch awaits us on a table that overlooks the ravine and, after a last tour of the property and when the sun’s rays begin to shine, there is nothing better to conclude the experience than a dip in ice water ( after meditation to prepare the body and mind) and a massage that helps us completely reset before hitting the road and returning to Mexico City… with the idea that we have to return.
