About Pilgrimage to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe
The pilgrimage leads to a Catholic basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe. It stands at the foot of Tepeyac hill, in Mexico City's Gustavo A. Madero borough. In Spanish the event is called Peregrinación a la Basílica de Santa María de Guadalupe.
The basilica is reported to receive close to 20 million pilgrims every year, which gives a sense of the scale of devotion at the site.
The pilgrimage is expected to take place on 12 December 2026, following a fixed yearly date of 12 December. This has not been confirmed yet, so check the basilica's own announcements before planning travel. No details on access or entry arrangements are available.
History and meaning
The first chapel on Tepeyac hill dates from 1666. Some time around 1740, Father J. de Montufar gave the order for the present temple to be raised on the hilltop.
