Overview

Going into Paquimé is like walking through a living chapter of northern Mexican history. This ancient pre-Hispanic city, with its perfectly aligned adobe structures, reveals the sophistication of a culture that flourished in the middle of the desert. Every wall, every passageway and every archaeological vestige tells us about a town ahead of its time, with hydraulic systems, heated housing and a deep link with nature. By visiting Paquimé and Mata Ortiz, you will not only be seeing an archaeological site, but living a transformative experience that unites history, art and tradition in one trip.
