Add a couple of centuries' worth of cultural heritage to your stay in Mexico, and wander the spectacular ancient ruins of El Tajín while a friendly guide shares the engrossing local history. Stand in awe before the monumental Pyramid of the Niches, a testament to the rich Totonac culture that flourished here for hundreds of years. See weather-worn temples, palaces, ballcourts, and more. Then, explore the nearby city of Papantla, to see how Totonac traditions live on today.

No visit to Mexico is really ever complete without a taste of the country's immense pre-Columbian history. But why stop at just a taste? This ticket gives you an all-you-can-eat buffet of Totonac cultural heritage.

A local guide will take you traveling back through the centuries as you explore the staggering temples, palaces, ancient playing fields, and of course, the gigantic Pyramid of the Niches. Even if you don't know much about Totonac civilization before you go, you'll be an expert on the topic after this!

As well as seeing how ancient Totonac people used to live, you'll discover their lasting cultural legacy, with a visit to the local city of Papantla, where ancient influence is still very much a part of the local social fabric.
