At the indicated time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Pachuca and head to the municipality of Tulla de Allende, where the Archaeological Site of Tula is located.

This city was the capital of the Toltec state. Its original name was Tollan-Xicocotitlan, but it became known as 'Tula' after the Spanish colonization.

On our tour of the Archaeological Site of Tula, we'll discover key aspects of Toltec culture. We'll learn about the chronicles that include the confrontation between Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca for control of the city.

As we explore the ruins of Tula, we'll come across the Burnt Palace and the Pyramid of Tlahuizcalpantecuhtli. We'll meet the Atlantes of Tula, which are four enormous anthropomorphic figures representing Toltec warriors.

After 7 hours of history and archaeology, we'll return to Pachuca and drop you off at your hotel.
