Immersive Cañada de La Virgen Pyramid Tour

1.Immersive Cañada de La Virgen Pyramid Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 789 reviews · 4 hours 30 minutes (approx.) Our pick

Travel from San Miguel de Allende to Cañada de La Virgen in an air-conditioned vehicle, then walk about 3 kilometers across uneven ground to the pyramid complex. Guides such as Israel, Horacio, Alex, and Christian explain Otomi and Mesoamerican culture, recent discoveries, and the site’s astronomy. The climb to the top is optional.

“It was so informative. Albert was a wealth of knowledge and has a good sense of humor and even though it was cold and windy and many of us were uncomfortable, including him, he gave it his all. The pyramid ruins were fascinating, the bus ride up to the ruins was short and smoothe and the walk not too difficult but I advise you check the weather report before booking! Great tacos afterward and by then the sun came out!”

“This booking did not turn out quite as expected. We tried to confirm a time via email, unsuccessfully, so stopped by the location when arrived in San Miguel, and on the second try finally were able to speak with Alex, the event leader. We rescheduled, as he had no record of the booking, and then there were others invited to what we thought was to be a private tasting.
