What you'll do
This is a great introduction to the indigenus Pre Hispanic cultures of Mesoamerica. Join me in a visual tour and talk through Mexico and its indigenous Prehispanic civilizations: the foundation with maize domestication, the origins with the olmecs, the share elements by all the peoples of Mesoamerica, the art of counting time (calendars), the pyramids and the sacred stories. In this journey we´ll go deep to the indigenous worldview through many of their art and architecture. My perspective of prehispanic Mexico is the result of twenty years of research in the historical and archaeological sources, and personal experience with indigenous group. It´s difficult to express what kind of experience I co-create so it is worth to check the reviews on my Pilgrimage to the Hill of the ancestors experience: https://www.airbnb.mx/experiences/329675
For me, traveling is a way of "know thyself, this is not a journey with the body, but it´s a journey in spirit and mind, join me, let me show you the Mexico I see.

This was one of my favorites among the virtual tours I've taken. It was so fascinating to dive into the different ancient cultures of Mexico, and learn about their architecture, symbolism, and connections between them. Alberto is clearly passionate about his field, and it comes across in his explanations. I with there were more tours like this available :).

Alberto did a phenomenal job guiding us to explore ancient Mexican culture and architecture. I really learned a lot and now have a few places in mind for my next travels!
Also, I got this for my archeologist friend's birthday, and he loved it! Would recommend for curious minds.

I've been spending significantly more time at home and have communicated with others about how strange this year has been with no summer trips. I think it's safe to say we are sharing a longing for travel and exploration during this time as it's important to us. Naturally we want to engage in that part of our life and it becomes more evident how important it is to us when our travels get cancelled. I think this experience is a great introduction to those of us that want to become connected with people and culture like Alberto, a local with insight and knowledge of the historical region and cultural area in North America known as Mesoamerica. This experience seeks to explore ancient civilizations, Mesoamerican architecture, cosmology and religion. Questions and dialogue is encouraged and welcomed.

The knowledge and passion that Alberto owned, when conveying information about the Mesoamerican civilization, capitivated me to such a degree, that I was transported back to ancient times; eating torillas fresh off a 28 century old, clay comal. I really enjoyed the experience.
