At the indicated time, we will pick you up from your hotel in Pachuca and travel to Tulla de Allende, the location of the Archaeological Site of Tula.

This city was the capital of the Toltec state, originally named Tollan-Xicocotitlan, later becoming known as 'Tula' post-Spanish colonization.

During the tour, we will uncover key elements of Toltec culture and recount tales from the chronicles, notably the conflict between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca for dominance over the city.

Exploring the ruins, we will see the Burnt Palace, which was damaged by fire, and the Pyramid of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli. At the pyramid, we will encounter its guardians, the Atlantes of Tula, large anthropomorphic figures symbolizing Toltec warriors.

After a 7-hour journey filled with history and archaeology, we will return to Pachuca and drop you off at your hotel.
