Excellent tour, don't miss this one!

Our tour guides Erwin and Hugo were absolutely the BEST!!! They were both so smart and knew so much history and details, which is exactly what we wanted to hear. Bonus, they were very funny too and made the tour most enjoyable.

Beautiful quiet ruins with fascinating history

Our tour guide Hugo was amazing and made the experience excellent for us. He was so knowledgeable about the history, traditions, and culture of the area, and had a great sense of humor! The site is peaceful and not crowded. We got to observe a fire ceremony. The drive in through the town is also beautiful and a great place to stop for a drink/snack.
