We arrived at the park at 8am just as it opened and it was not crowded at all, despite it being the weekend. Rúbin was knowledgeable and friendly. We went at a good pace and we did not feel overwhelmed.

He shared a lot of interesting information. The Pyramids were breathtaking and he made sure we saw the third one which is a trek but well worth it (you are still allowed to climb it). After the pyramids, we went into town for Pulque tasting and to see different types of obsidian art. We then went to another town for a delicious lunch with a local family.
