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 with historical significance.

Upon arrival, we'll visit the Xihuacan Museum, which features over 800 artefacts, some dating back 3,500 years, including necklaces, pots, and axes. We will also see a ball game made of baked clay and a pyramidal base from the ceremonial center.

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

We will then visit Barra de Potosí Beach to enjoy a traditional local lunch, with options including shrimp, fajitas, fish, or meat dishes, served with rice, salad, and handmade tortillas.

Following our meal, we will begin our return to Ixtapa Zihuatanejo, arriving at your hotel by 2:45 pm.
