Very interesting guided tour Everything was well organized. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave an interesting explanation of the site. We went by car to the meeting point for the shuttle. There is a small shop at the reception area where you can buy water and there are decent toilets. You have to leave everything in a locker and can only carry water and a cell phone to the ruins. The shuttle takes you to the start of a walk up about 2 km up a hill. It is a very rocky path so best to wear good shoes. Once you’re at the archaeological site, there is very little shade and you will be on your feet the entire time. Highly recommend going It is a very special area and unlike any of the other pyramids you will see in Mexico
Wear your walking shoes. Lino, our guide was knowledgeable and took pics of us. Lunch was at a house in the hills and it was delicious. Book your tour.
Amazing pyramid and group of 5 buildings/temples. Well preserved and just uncovered in 1995. Short 40 minute drive from the center of Historic center of San Miguel . Not busy, our group of 4 and a couple from Chicago that took a taxi out. You leave your car in a parking lot and board a bus that run every hour. Bus drops you a Kilometer from the sight and you walk up a modest incline. Wear comfy shoes. A guide takes you and tells of the areas and what they were used for. Spanish only, but good signage in English and Spanish. You get to walk the entire sight with the guide and climb the pyramid.
It was a great experience. We learned so much about the site and it was great to even be able to climb the temple and get a panoramic view of the area. Lino was a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide that took the time to answer all our questions. We would definitely book again with with this tour company.
Very interesting site that we almost had the place to ourselves. Our guide was also great who was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour.
Horatio was my guide for the entire day. His knowledge and broad spectrum of the pyramid really made the excursion that much better. He was very patient with me as we walked up and down the pyramid steps. And, add the meal to your trip. It’s home cooked food and absolutely delicious. .
Be ready to walk uphill and wear comfy shoes, sunblock , hat and or long sleeves. Can’t take any bags with you but they have lockers if you do take a bag. It’s a small site but awesome to visit and learn about. You get to climb the restored steps/parts. If you opt for the ranch style lunch , you get a simple but tasty home cooked meal in someone’s backyard with farm animals, not too far from the site. Worth going to if you’re in SMDA.
It’s a lot walking uphill but the site is lovely. Guide was very informative. Take water with you. Wear shoes
Fantastic tour. Guide was knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommend this trip. Coyote Canyon Adventures is fantastic. I will definitely book future activities with them
The place is amazing but the staff members were very rude and grumpy since we arrived, from the person who directed us and gave us some information where to park our car to the person who took us to the archeological site. My sister in law had a word with the guide chap because he was quite rude and grumpy. I don’t think people like him would be working in a place like that. No English spoken or whatsoever. Despite all the issues we had we enjoyed our visit.
