Overview

Discover two fascinating faces of Jalisco in one tour. We will start by traveling to the past in the Archaeological Zone of Guachimontones, in Teuchitlán to continue with the modern Guadalajara in stylistic center.

We will visit the archaeological area and its museum to learn more about the Teuchitlan Tradition, its ancient ceremonies, architecture, ball games and the way of life of those who inhabited this region.

Then we drive 1 hour to Guadalajara and make a food break in Karnes Garibaldi, to continue our tour.

Already in the city we will take a city tour of the Historic Center, where we will know some of its most representative buildings and monuments, as well as admire the impressive murals of José Clemente Orozco.

✨ An experience that connects the pre-Hispanic past with the art, history and identity of modern Guadalajara.

Private tour at your own pace in recent model units and with SECTUR accredited guides.
