Experience Details

Uncover Teotihuacan identity from ancient times to its modern way of living and cousine. Spend time with a local teotihuacan family who will give you a wider perception regarding the modern tortilla, edible cactus and insects (optional) that have remained over two thousand years in everyday local food.


You will have exclusive access to a restricted area, aptly named "the hidden treasure," where your guide will unveil a site under investigation by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). This location served as an early exploration and art studio within an ancient palace, offering a unique insight into Diego Rivera's exploration of ancient artistic expressions and techniques like the cochineal paint method
