Description

Discover the magic of Mitla, a place where time seems to stand still and the stones tell millenary stories. Accompanied by a local Zapotec tour guide, you will explore this enigmatic archaeological site in an authentic way, delving into the ancient wisdom of the people. 'Mictlan, place of the dead! Mitla is not just an archaeological site, it is a sacred space, full of life and meaning for the Zapotec people. As we walk together through the ancient temples and palaces, the tour guide will convey the secrets held within its walls, decorated with intricate geometric designs that symbolize eternity and the balance of the universe. These precisely carved patterns reflect the connection with the cosmos and the importance of religious beliefs in ancient Zapotec society. Throughout the tour, your tour guide will invite you to see beyond the stones. Mitla was a ceremonial center of great importance, and every corner has a story to tell. The tour guide will narrate the legends of the priests and rulers who once ruled here, and how spiritual and community life were deeply intertwined. As a Zapotec tour guide, he will reveal details that you will not find in history books, details passed down from generation to generation, and that reflect the cosmovision and relationship with nature. The experience is not only historical; it is an opportunity to connect with the living soul of the culture. Your Zapotec tour guide will lead you to discover how, despite the passing of the centuries, Zapotec traditions are still alive. Each visit to Mitla is a reminder that the history of the people still beats in every stone, and that the way they see the world continues to influence our daily lives. At the end of the tour, I hope you will take away not only photographs, but a deep connection to a civilization that has left an indelible mark on the history of Mexico. Through the eyes of your Zapotec tour guide, Mitla is not just an ancient place, it is the living legacy of the Zapotecs, and your Zapotec tour guide will be a bridge for you to experience it in a unique and authentic way.
