Your guide

Miguel Orihuela

Miguel is a federally licensed guide (SECTUR accreditation) with a degree in archaeology from UNAM and twelve years leading groups at Teotihuacán. He worked two field seasons on the Plaza of the Columns excavation and explains the site from the evidence up: what was found, where, and what it changes about the story.

He guides in English and Spanish, keeps the group to twelve so everyone can hear, and takes questions all day.
