Jesús Rodríguez was an... - Jesús Rodríguez was an excellent guide for our trip to Cañada de la Virgen. He was very knowledgeable about the site and its history! The site itself felt very special to visit as they only allow small groups in at a time.

Excellent tour of Otomi pyramid - Jesus was a fun & knowledgeable guide. I loved learning about the Otomi people & how they filled up the bottom of the pyramid with water to observe the sky.

Visiting the Cañada de la Virgen is a must do while in San Miguel! English tour with Jesus was great! - We chose to do the English tour with Jesus since we wanted to learn more about the archeological site and we didn't understand a lot of Spanish.
Jesus was prompt at answering my questions after booking the tour. We started right on time and it was a comfortable car ride to the Cañada. It ended up being just my husband and I in our tour. We had plenty of time to walk, learn about the site, and take pictures. Visiting the archeological site is also well- organized. I highly recommend the tour with Jesus since he is very knowledgeable about the site.

Fantastic tour experience! - We had a fantastic experience on this tour. Jesus was maybe the most knowledgeable guide we could have hoped to have. He knew the site inside and out and had studied under the archeologist Joe performed the excavation. I would recommend him to anyone going !

Pre-Columbian site surrounded by nature - Pretty pre-Columbian ruins, in a protected natural area, surrounded by nature, they are little used. Access to the site is highly regulated, which allows good management of visits. Jesus was a very good guide, very competent.

Not crowded is an understatement - We were lucky enough to have no one else book at the same time we did. The result was a private tour. There were no other groups there either, so we had the entire site to ourselves. Jesus was incredibly knowledgeable, not just about the archeological site, but also the animals and plants too. His passion for the area was wonderful. He was kind in answering our questions and remembered them to incorporate into things we talked about later. We learned so much today!

Knowledge-rich tour - This was a great informative tour. Our guide Jesus was very knowledgeable about the pyramids. On our walk to the pyramids, Jesus had a deep knowledge of the local landscape. He pointed out many plants and their medicinal uses.
