Impressive archeological dig

Very enjoyable trip to see the Otomi pyramids at this impressive archeological dig. Jesus was a knowledgeable guide who clearly enjoys his work. I would have liked more time to see the exhibit hall and also possibly watch the video. I hope financial constraints don’t prevent a continuation of the excavation. This ancient site adds significantly to the tourist appeal of San Miguel.

I usually look into Victor wherever I go. I know it is the one that I can trust around the world. The guides are good.

Wonderful Tour of Cañada de Virgen Archeological Site

We recently had the pleasure of touring this magnificent archaeological site outside SMA. Jesus was an exceptional guide who was well versed in the history of the site and passionate about sharing its heritage. A very easy and practical way of exploring this amazing place!

Jesús Rodríguez was an excellent guide for our trip to Cañada de la Virgen. He was very knowledgeable about the site and its history! The site itself felt very special to visit as they only allow small groups in at a time.

Excellent tour of Otomi pyramid

Jesus was a fun & knowledgeable guide. I loved learning about the Otomi people & how they filled up the bottom of the pyramid with water to observe the sky.

Visiting the Cañada de la Virgen is a must do while in San Miguel! English tour with Jesus was great!

We chose to do the English tour with Jesus since we wanted to learn more about the archeological site and we didn't understand a lot of Spanish. Jesus was prompt at answering my questions after booking the tour. We started right on time and it was a comfortable car ride to the Cañada. It ended up being just my husband and I in our tour. We had plenty of time to walk, learn about the site, and take pictures. Visiting the archeological site is also well- organized. I highly recommend the tour with Jesus since he is very knowledgeable about the site.

Fantastic tour experience!

We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Jesus was maybe the most knowledgeable guide we could have hoped to have. He knew the site inside and out and had studied under the archeologist Joe performed the excavation. I would recommend him to anyone going !

Pre-Columbian site surrounded by nature

Pretty pre-Columbian ruins, in a protected natural area, surrounded by nature, they are little used. Access to the site is highly regulated, which allows good management of visits. Jesus was a very good guide, very competent.
