In 2018, I proudly earned my Master's Degree in Mesoamerican Studies from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM).

“Amazing, Educational & In Depth ”
Jazmin hands down is the best tour guide I’ve had. She started the experience by asking me what my goals/focus areas were. She blended her thorough archeology background with a sense of humor throughout the tour. I highly recommend you book her - will not regret. Her style would be great with families with little ones as well
