Recently it was discovered that this village is sitting in and on one of Mexico’s most   exciting new archaeological discoveries, the ancient site of Xihuatlan. Inhabited for 3000 years it has been under the influence of many of Mexico’s great cultures. A series of adobe/river rock mounds, a reconstructed Meso- American ball court and a beautiful new museum allow you to glimpse back in time and imagine a life lost to the ages. The village located here carries on much as it always has. Farmers tend the same crops grown a thousand or more years ago. Chilis, maize melons and beans are all cultivated. Tobacco is harvested and rolled into cigars both rustic and fine. We have the opportunity to view a demonstration of this art, with hand rolled cigars available for purchase. We explore the ruins, museum and town with the company of a local resident and guide to help with any questions.
