Itinerary
We pick you up directly at your hotel within the ZMG. You will receive the unit plates via WhatsApp/email. Your adventure begins from the door of your accommodation.
Along the way we tell you the story of the accidental discovery of the circular pyramids of Teuchitlán — a story that will change your vision of ancient Mexico.
Discover one of the most significant archaeological sites in the Mesoamerican West in the Teuchitlán Zone, Jalisco. This experience will transport you through 1,200 years of history, allowing you to explore the pyramids and concentric structures that demonstrate the architectural and cosmological sophistication of pre-Hispanic civilizations. Under the specialized guidance of archeology experts, you will tour ceremonial plazas, ball fields and residential remains that reveal the political and cultural importance of this settlement between 200 and 800 AD. The artifacts on display, from refined ceramics to artistic figurines, tell stories of extensive business connections and unparalleled craftsmanship. This archaeological immersion constitutes an invaluable opportunity to understand the civilizational richness of ancient Mexico and connect with the ancient legacy that defines the cultural identity of the region.
Lunch-Meal at a local restaurant near the archaeological site. Authentic Jalisco cuisine — birria, drowned cakes or whatever the day calls for, or you decide, cantina? bar? restaurant? It is your time, your tour, your private trip, your experience, without rush or pressure.
Private transfer back to your hotel in GDL. You arrive rested, with stories that none of your friends will be able to tell.

Exceptional host who exceeded all our expectations After living such a wonderful experience in the Tour de Chapala, we did not hesitate to contact Octavio again to explore Tequila and Guachimontones. The decision was absolutely right. Knowledge and attention to detail: Octavian proved to be an excellent connoisseur of the whole region. He took us for breakfast to another delicious place (different from the first tour), showing his wide repertoire of dining options for all tastes: carnivores, vegans, vegetarians... know the best places! Personalized service and genuine empathy: My father had problems in his leg, and Octavio had no problem getting him with his vehicle to the area of the pyramids of Guachimontones to facilitate access. Throughout the tour he was attentive and attentive to my dad’s needs, constantly striving to make him feel comfortable. Spectacular itinerary: Museum of Guachimontones: A total show, magnificently explained. Circular pyramids: Impressive and unique. The experience was unforgettable. Distilleries in Tequila: We visited two with very different characteristics. We both loved it because of its particularities. Tequila Centre: Quaint, colorful village full of joy. Great! Total flexibility: Back, my father was tired and we decided not to visit the famous little songs. Octavio immediately offered us alternatives to take advantage of the time, although we ultimately preferred to return directly. His willingness and understanding were exemplary. Details that make a difference: The ranch music playlist loved my dad. Octavio is super polite, excellent driver and, above all, an extraordinary person. Quite a character in the best sense of the word: patient, cordial and authentically hospitable to all my family. I 100% recommend this tour and all the services that Octavio offers. If you’re looking for a professional, knowledgeable, flexible and genuinely caring guide, look no further!
Me encuentro profundamente conmovido por sus generosas palabras. Que hayan confiado nuevamente en mis servicios tras el Tour de Chapala representa el reconocimiento más valioso que puedo recibir. Respecto a la atención brindada a su padre, fue un verdadero privilegio poder adaptar el recorrido a sus necesidades. La hospitalidad genuina consiste precisamente en eso: hacer que cada detalle se ajuste a quienes me confían su tiempo y expectativas. Me alegra enormemente que hayan disfrutado cada elemento del itinerario: desde el desayuno hasta las destilerías, las majestuosas pirámides de Guachimontones y el vibrante centro de Tequila. Esos pequeños detalles culturales, como el playlist de música ranchera, son los que transforman un simple recorrido en una experiencia verdaderamente memorable. Ha sido un honor absoluto acompañarlos y compartir la riqueza de Jalisco con su familia. Sus palabras me inspiran a continuar perfeccionando cada aspecto de mi servicio. Espero sinceramente tener el privilegio de recibirlos nuevamente en futuras aventuras. Con mi más cordial aprecio y gratitud, Octavio 🇲🇽❤️
