Visite de la pyramide de la Cañada de La Virgen
Description
Pendant que nous vous Guiderons dans ce lieu magique, nous partagerons ce que nous avons glané grâce à notre expérience pratique et à nos années d'études sur l'ancienne Méso-Amérique, les légendes et la sagesse des populations locales. Vous entendrez parler de chaque lieu et de son importance culturelle tout au long du chemin emprunté par les anciens pour atteindre la pyramide. Nous avons emmené plus de 10 000 personnes en tournée depuis l'ouverture du site au public en 2011. Notre passion est de rapporter des informations qui viennent d'être révélées dans un domaine récemment étudié de manière agréable. Nous espérons vous voir bientôt. C'est "un must à faire pendant que vous êtes ici...!" "Une expérience à ne pas manquer." "Ne vous laissez pas distancer."

Really wonderful and knowledgeable guide and good amount of time at the site with a small group and individualized attention! Very convenient and organized way to take a half-day trip and learn about history and culture!
I did receive a notification that the tour was canceled the same day of the tour.
What an adventure! Our guide was very enthusiastic and informative, and climbing to the top of the pyramids was so cool. The tour bus picked us up at the predetermined spot within walking distance of our apartment and drove us to the pyramid museum area where there are bathrooms and small gift shop. From there, we boarded another bus, along with other tour groups, and were transported through private ranch land to a drop off spot one mile from the site. From there we walked the cobblestone or dirt road to the pyramids. Our guide stopped frequently to give us information. Climbing the pyramids was the climax of the tour. Although we had frequent stops to view points of interest and hear information, the tour moved along and kept to the schedule. Basic facilities are available out of sight of the pyramids. The tour returns to the drop off area, a mile walk back, to return by the bus to the museum where the original tour bus awaits. Wear protective clothing, comfortable sturdy shoes, sunscreen, a hat, and bring water and maybe a snack. Restrooms don't have toilet paper in the stalls, you have to gauge how much you'll need and tear it from a roll at the doorway. We thoroughly enjoyed this activity, which lasted about 4.5 hours total. We were returned to the original pick up point. We would take this tour again. It was very hands on, informative and culturally immersive.
Smooth and responsible service Great Great Great Really cool place Great Great Great Really cool place
A really well-done tour with a knowledgeable guide. Be aware that this tour is physcically demanding. The tour was well-organized and the transportation was efficient. Read the fine print on what you can take - i.e. no purses, bags etc..
We had an absolutely outstanding experience at the Cañada de la Virgen archaeological site, and a huge part of that was due to our tour guide, Alberto. He was kind, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. The tour itself was immersive and thoughtfully paced, with rich explanations that brought the site’s history, architecture, and cultural significance to life. Beyond the archaeology, Alberto generously shared a wealth of information about San Miguel de Allende as a whole, which made the experience feel even more meaningful and complete. It is clear that Alberto is deeply passionate about what he does and genuinely cares about making the experience special for everyone in the group. We walked away feeling informed, inspired, and grateful for such a high-quality, memorable tour. We would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Cañada de la Virgen.
A wonderful way to learn about the amazing history of the area. Our guide, Isreal, was a walking history lesson!
Tour: We had a great experience on this trip. Our guide was very organized and was so knowledgeable about the site and regional history that he really made it vivid and memorable. We learned so much and had a great time exploring the site. Like every good tour, it left us wanting to learn more! We were also lucky enough to see some of the beautiful horses that roam the area. Highly recommend this tour while you’re in the area. The pace was good for reasonably fit persons. Site: Restroom is available at the site entrance only. You will not be able to carry in bags of any sort. There are secure lockers to leave your bags at the entrance. Uphill and downhill walking on uneven terrain and cobblestones, nothing extreme. Opportunity to climb to the top of the central building and take in the entire view (optional).
Alex was a great guide! Very knowledgable and friendly. He picked us up at the designated location in a car, and then drove us to the site where we boarded a bus. The site is really beautiful. The walk to the site is a little steep in places, but the scenery makes the walk enjoyable. Look for the leaf-cutter ants!
Highly recommended archeological excursion while in San Miguel! Horacio was very friendly and knowledgeable. Be prepared for lots of stairs, but otherwise not a challenging hike. The pyramid and site are can't miss!
