The National Anthropology Museum feels like stepping into a time capsule, unlocking secrets of ancient civilizations at every turn. Every corner holds a piece of history waiting to be unearthed.
Sometimes you can feel lost in time, but through my eyes, you’ll be able to find the right steps to uncover more answers and more questions.
Since childhood, this museum has been my favorite place in the city; it became my home for many years. Nowadays, the excitement of showing such a special space to other people is always immense.
If you're not a big fan of museums, allow me the opportunity to show you how fun they can be... And if you already enjoy museums, let's savor and learn together.

Museo Nacional de Antropologia
Through the eyes of "A Young Archaeologist," you will discover Mesoamerica and its cultures and regions. My objective is to show you that pre-Hispanic history in this country goes beyond just the Maya and Aztecs. I will take you to the main exhibition halls to explore the masterpieces of each culture. We will discuss their history, religion, politics, economy, architecture, and traditions. Together, we will understand their possible meanings. By the end, you will have knowledge of the great variety of cultures in the past and their processes over time. Additionally, you will see why this museum is the favorite space of this archaeologist. Passion, fun, and professionalism are guaranteed.

We had the best afternoon with David! He made our trip to the Anthropologie Museum so memorable - we learned so much about ancient Mesoamerican cultures. Our kids (7 and 9) were engaged the entire tour and so were the adults. We are so happy we found such an amazing tour guide.

This was a great tour. The guide was an expert on the subject matter and a friendly communicator. The ability to ask questions and learn more enhances the experience. Bottom line, this tour is a bargain. Highly, highly recommended!!!!

David was super knowledgeable and super friendly. He combined his expert narration with multimedia resources to enhance the understanding and provide context for both the historical situation as well as how archeologists have approached the challenge of uncovering the mysteries of these ancient civilisations. The anthropological museum is a must see, but you'll be lost without a guide like David.

This museum is world class and well worth a few visits. Be sure to get a guide. Our guide, David Huesca, aka Pakalito, was amazing! We learned so much in a short period of time. David had an iPad presentation that he used to highlight important topics and provide context. This was a top notch tour!

That was one of best tours I’ve ever had. Pakulito is so knowledgeable and he is gifted teacher - his technique of teaching with the tablet pics is perfection. He has prepared slides that are so organized, he can access them efficiently to get his ideas across, amazing! Thank you!!

David (Pakalito) was an excellent tour guide. I have never been a big fan of museums, but the time flew with it and it was a very interesting and fun experience. He has such an in-depth knowledge of history and archaeology and you can really say he is passionate about what he does. I would not hesitate to recommend a tour with David, he is very friendly and intelligent. Next time I go back to the city, I will definitely book another one of your tours!

Pakalito was amazing. We do a lot of guided tours when we travel and this was hands down one of the best. His knowledge and passion was over the top. He also arranged for a tour of the pyramid the following day. Do not go to the museum without this man.
