Alberto Aveleyra, ethnohistorian of the National School of Anthropology is the curator of the Archaeological Exhibit of teh Historical Museum of San Miguel (the House of Allende), founded in October 2022. Alberto is a published author and one of the main researchers of the site. The famous magazine Arqueología Mexicana just published his theory on Cañada de la Virgen archaeological site (Arqueologia Mexicana no. 186), you can check this an other articles in his academia.edu web page. Because the lack of support of the government, Alberto is funding his research through the tours he offers in the site.

Canada de la VirgenWalk with me through this indigenous sanctuary founded in the VI century A.D. While we walk through this beautiful natural landscape, learn about the 30 centuries old pre-Hispanic native civilizations, their rites, the cult to the ancestors, the archaeological excavations on the site and the research I´m doing there. My resarch is about the Prehispanic routes used by the ancient pilgrims and the cultural meanings of the processions performed there. The DNA research reveals that this archaeological site was a multi-ethnic sanctuary, it was the goal for pilgrims coming from different parts of Mexico for a period of 500 years between the VI and the XI century of our era.
