Overview
Get an inside look at what it takes to uncover ancient ruins by visiting Cañada de La Virgen on an archaeologist-led tour. Your guide took part in the site’s 2004 excavation, giving him a unique insight into the relatively-recently uncovered Mesoamerican complex. As you tour the site he can share details you can’t discover on your own and would likely miss on a different guided tour.
- Explore Cañada de la Virgen with an archaeologist who helped uncover the site
- A small-group enables the guide to tailor the tour to the group’s interests
- Enjoy hassle-free transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle
- Avoid crowds by visiting these lesser-traveled ancient ruins

Traveler Tips
- "Don’t do a DYI or even the bare-bones version with a Federally licensed worker; you’ll miss the color and texture that brings this tour to life." See review
- "Take the precaution about the walk seriously - it was strenuous and on uneven surfaces." See review
- "The site itself is very unusual in that because it is located on privately held land, there are literally no touristy gee-gaws to have to deal with." See review

The content of this tour is very detailed, our tour guide is clearly highly knowledgeable and passionate about his work.
We appreciated the experience and did learn a bit. However, the delivery almost seemed as if it had been recorded, tons of detail, but weak in storytelling with expression or personality.
Based on the Covid restrictions here, it was surprising that not everyone in the group was compliant with mask regulations, nor did the tour guide enforce them once announced, particularly on shared transportation where that is most important.
Great experience

Excellent historical tour

It was an excellent tour. We went on a Tuesday so the number people was light. This site takes an uphill hike to get there, but this adds to the remote feel of this location. Having an archaeologist as a guide was awesome and the information provided was excellent. This tour was exactly what I was hoping for.

The tour of the pyramid was wonderful. Albert was a personable and knowledgeable guide to one of Mexico’s newest archeological finds. He was able to make his encyclopedic archeological knowledge accessible and interesting to the layman. I’m looking for the book he wrote/is writing on the site. Thanks for a memorable experience.

Learned so much and guide was fabulous BUT this is not easy to do walking on uneven trail uphill and steps on pyramid not easy for someone in not great shape in late 60s Would still do it again but would have liked to know what I was getting into and would have chosen AM tour when it wasn’t so warm

Albert gave us a fantastic introduction to archeology, especially in this part of the world. Having an English speaking guide for the site was essential. None of the signage or information would have been accessible to us otherwise. Even though we couldn’t climb to the top, it was still super cool and I would go on a tour to a different site with Albert in the future.

Informative tour led by Albert, who has wealth of knowledge and experience in archeology and field research in Meso America. Canada de La Virgen is a smaller site relative to Teotihuacan, but Albert’s expertise and knowledge brought it to life! Fascinating history and a good few hours spent while in San Miguel de Allende
Highly educational and enjoyable

It was one of the most informative and enjoyable tours I’ve taken! Albert was super knowledgeable from having personally participated in the excavation. There’s so much good information and insights. If you’re in San Miguel, this particular tour is a must and you won’t get anyone better than Albert!
