I myself will be in charge of leading this trip. I will share with you some of the history traditions and cosmogony among other things of our indigenous nations, about people, their society, style and religion. I will give to you general information through a fun talk to make this an experiential experience and of course I will address all the questions and specific topics that each person or group wanted to know.
Each visit must be a personal an unique experience an although there is a previously defined itinerary, the trip will be adapted to the taste of each person. My wish is that you enjoy this visit to the fullest and that by knowing a little more about our history and our roots, which are originated in Spain, but also in the Moorish traditions an of course American Indians cultures, you will marvel at our unique magical colorful and different culture.

At Bernal we will have the time to eat something if you feel like doing it, I will recommend the famous Gorditas stuffed with different stews, delicacies most of them such as cactus, pork, potatoes and the nopal on its grilled penca with cheese, bacon, onions.....a true delight to the palate. Later we will get to know the typical sweets, the cacti ice cream and the freshly baked bread filled wit strawberries, black berries, sweet milk and jaggery candy (piloncillo).

And then, once we are there, at Bernal, we have to visit the Temple of San Sebastian, located right there at the side of the main square because he is the Saint patron of the town. Built between 1700 and 1725 does not have architecturally speaking a defined style, however at the front façade we can see the Catholic and Indigenous syncretism, you will found out over there. It is a church built in the Roman Christianity style with a main nave an two lateral side naves, the same style of Saint Peter´s Rome Basilica.
