Walking and breathing fresh air is very healthy and recreational, while enjoying one of the most unique landscapes in the world, includes the archaeological zone that is unique for its sacred geometry of concentric circles and the pre-Hispanic obsidian workshops where we surely find weapons or objects made thousands of years ago. Let's explore more!! Like we're local. No company in Guadalajara offers an equal tour.
