Highlights
The pyramids of Cañada de la Virgen are a remarkable archaeological site built nearly 1,500 years ago by an indigenous culture. Serving as both a ceremonial center and an astronomical observatory, they reveal how ancient peoples measured time and aligned their rituals with the cosmos. Our journey begins with a 30‑minute drive from San Miguel, followed by a short bus ride and a scenic half‑mile walk through the countryside to reach the site. Once there, we’ll explore the three main pyramids, learning about their architecture, symbolism, and the daily life of the people who built them. After the visit, we return by bus and, on the way back to San Miguel, we can stop at a local winery to enjoy regional cuisine and sample fine wines, making this experience a perfect blend of history, culture, and flavor.

About San Miguel de Allende
San Miguel de Allende is a colonial hill town in Mexico's central highlands, with a pink-stone church, cobbled streets, galleries and an art school.
San Miguel de Allende sits at about 1,900 metres in the Bajío highlands of Guanajuato, a town of cobbled streets and painted colonial houses built when silver and trade made the region rich. The Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, with its pink sandstone spires, dominates the Jardín, the main square. The town takes the second half of its name from Ignacio Allende, a leader of the independence movement born here, and the historic centre is a World Heritage site.
