It was totally eye opening to everyone that was there. - This was one of the most informative tours I have been on. I thought I new a lot of Mexican history, but Mani showed us all how little we actually new.

Great Introduction to Zapotec Culture - Manuel was very knowledgeable about the history of the Zapotec culture. He had thought provoking statements regarding cultural beliefs which had you leaving the tour wanting to be a better person! The tour was seamless from start to finish. His communication regarding pickup and tour expectations was perfect. All around an excellent tour. Much better to go with a certified guide than stare at something you know nothing about on your own!

Copalita ruins - Today I had e great visit to the archeological site at Copalita. It was very special to go with Mani. He kindly took time as I was walking a bit slowly. He explained so much of the culture of the Zapotec people and even how all of the original cultures of Mexico are related in their history. The area is quite wild so we saw birds, and lizards. Also a spot where there is a beautiful view over the ocean. Thank you Mani. You are a very comfortable person to be with. Thank you for sharing so much for my inquisitive mind.
