Soledad de Maciel & Xihuacan Day Trip

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

Once we've arrived, we'll visit the Xihuacan Museum, featuring over 800 artefacts, some over 3,500 years old, including necklaces, pots, axes, and a glyph with the city name. We'll also see a ball game made of baked clay and a pyramidal base of the ceremonial centre, used for agricultural and religious rituals.

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

We'll then go to Barra de Potosí Beach for a traditional local lunch with options of shrimp, fajitas, fish or meat dishes served with rice, salad, and handmade tortillas.

After lunch, we'll return to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, arriving back at your hotel by 2:45 pm.
