Soledad de Maciel & Xihuacan Day Trip

At 9 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo and head to Xihuacan, an archaeological site rich in history and culture.

Upon arrival, we will visit the Xihuacan Museum, which houses over 800 artefacts, some over 3,500 years old, including necklaces, pots, and axes. We will also view a clay ball game and one of the pyramidal bases of the ceremonial centre, where agricultural and religious rituals took place.

Next, we will go to La Soledad de Maciel, a village built on the ruins of Xihuacan. Here, we will see a low relief stele called 'King of La Chole' next to the church and visit a local house showcasing a collection of pre-Hispanic art discovered in the area over 30 years.

We will then proceed to Barra de Potosí Beach for a traditional local lunch, offering choices of shrimp, fajitas, fish, or meat dishes, served with rice, salad, and handmade tortillas.

After lunch, we will return to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, with an estimated arrival back at your hotel by 2:45 pm.
