What To Expect

Alberto Aveleyra has been doing research on the site since 2017, when he presented a paper about the prehispánic routes of access to the site in the 3rd International Congress of Ethnohistory. This year, 2021, an article where he shows his first research results is going to appear in a book about the Royal Road of Guanajuato.
His research proposes that this site probably is the sanctuary of Chicomoztoc, a place referred in multiple indigenous historical sources, this discovery drove him to start a PhD in Mesoamerican studies in the National University of Mexico, he is now in the selection process, if he is succesful, he´ll start his degree in August 2021. The last 4 years of fieldwork and codex analysis have been founded through the tours he runs in the site. When you hire his tours you are contributing and supporting his research, creating a new way to do cultural anthropology in Mexico.

What to remember

Important info

Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. Not recommended for pregnant travelers. Not recommended for travelers with poor cardiovascular health. Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness. The starting hour of the tour depends on the confirmation from the Archaeological Site Visitor´s Center. There is a limited number of travelers aloud to enter the site each hour, from 10 am to 3 pm. We always ask to enter at 10 am (tour starting at 9am) but that depends totally on the available spaces in the Archaeological Site for that specific day. Because of this, it is common to enter the site and start the tour in later hours (11am, 12 pm, 1 pm). We confirm you the starting time of the tour after we receive the confirmation from the Archaeological Site Visitor´s Center.
