Overview

Step away from the tourist crowds and explore the fascinating round pyramids of Guachimontones on this fully-private experience!

Unlike standard group tours, enjoy private transportation exclusively for you and your group. Your guide, Diego, holds a Master’s degree in Cultural Heritage Studies from the University of Guadalajara and has 7+ years of experience, offering expert knowledge and a personalized experience.

This 6-hour tour includes the Guachimontones archaeological site and museum, where you’ll learn in a fun and relaxed way about Jalisco’s indigenous roots. Continue to the picturesque town of Teuchitlan for a guided walk, then enjoy a scenic lakeside lunch and drinks at Presa de la Vega (all dietary preferences accommodated).

Upgrade your tour with an optional tequila distillery visit and time in the town of Tequila for an added fee (select the tequila option when making your reservation). Book it today and explore Jalisco’s ancient heritage!
