Your guide will lead you through exhibits that illuminate the lives, beliefs, and achievements of Mexico’s indigenous peoples, from the Mayans to the Toltecs. You’ll marvel at intricate Olmec jade masks and stand before the hauntingly beautiful Tláloc monolith, which once guarded the city’s water supply.

This is more than just a museum visit; it's an opportunity to connect with the roots of humanity in a setting that inspires awe and reflection.
