Wow! Fantastic! Oldest pyramids and ritual sites in the Americas! Who knew? - What we loved? Walking around Guachimontones, experiencing the ambiance of the pyramid and imagining its plaza packed with dancing people. That was based on a solid foundation of knowledge provided by our guide, Jesus Salas, and by the on-site museum. It all worked. We loved, too, having lunch in the restaurant on the lakeshore, with white egrets and pelicans as close as four meters away. That was due to our guide's choice of restaurant, and his working with the staff to get us vegans and adventurers the best meal we had on our whole vacation. Jesus was personable, skilled, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about Guachimontones. The site itself was hugely impressive, its energies still discernable. Altogether a great day and a terrific value.

Perfect tour for a small group not looking to pair Guachimontones with Tequila. - Renzo was very accommodating and friendly. He made a last minute adjustment to the pick-up location that was very appreciated. Our tour guide, Efren, was very informative and answered all of our questions. He really painted a picture of the site and made the experience interactive. We had two English-only speakers in our group and he seamlessly switched between English and Spanish as needed.

The ruins of Guachimontones are truly impressive, and the tour of the Teuchitlán museum added an extra layer of understanding. Additionally, the stop at the local restaurant to try frog legs was an unexpected delight. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an enriching and authentic experience in Jalisco.
