Description

Good to Know

It will take approximately one hour to reach Teotihuacan. Upon arrival at the Teotihuacán ruins, your knowledgeable tour guide will lead you through a detailed exploration of the ancient city, spanning its four stages of construction from 100 B.C. to 650 A.C. This journey will elucidate the significance of customs, traditions, and commercial goods as enduring elements of our national identity today. 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. Then, a short ten-minute drive from the pyramids will lead us to Erica's middle-class home, where you will savor delectable local cuisine, providing a taste of the town's essence through its authentic dishes.

Miguel is a passionate and knowledgable anthropologist who brings the history of the site to life. Beyond just learning about the awe-inspiring structures, we learned about the people who lived there: their beliefs, their practices, and their deep spiritual connection to ancestry. We enjoyed much thoughtful conversation, got to see s...read more

La mejor experiencia para visitar Tehotihuacán

Junto con Jonathan hicimos un recorrido soñado, una experiencia para atesorar toda la vida. Si quieres entender como turista el contexto, la historia y la cultura de este recorrido único en el mundo, Jonathan y su equipo es sin dudas la mejor opción que puedas conseguir. No lo dudes. Además, un dato singular de esta propuesta: la experiencia de comer cosas deliciosas en una casa particular de San Juan Teotihuacan, a unos minutos de las pirámides, es espectacular y es algo que no lo vas a poder v...read more

Authentic, intimate, and absolutely delicious.

Every part of this experience was genuine,from the way we were greeted to the last spoonful of dessert. The host was so friendly and passionate about sharing her food and culture.

A taste of real life in Mexico.

This experience gave me a glimpse into what daily life looks like for a middle-class family in the area. The food was comforting, simple, and absolutely delicious. I’d choose this over a fancy restaurant any day.
