Cañada de la Virgen Archaeological Site Tour

We'll meet at Zacateros Street at the agreed time and head west towards the Cañada de la Virgen Archaeological Zone. After a 45-minute drive, we'll arrive at this site to see an important Toltec-Chichimec fortress centuries ago.

Accompanied by an expert guide in archaeology, we'll visit the astronomical observatory, the clock, the necropolis, and the esplanades used by the Toltecs.
