It was hot and dry when we visited Canada de la Virgen, a newly discovered and excavated archaeological site outside San Miguel de Allende. The site is located in a private property and the tours are strictly controlled. Exploring the site by yourself is not allowed. So due to this unique situation, the pace of the tour was rather fast and I had to move along with the group, leaving no room for my so planned sketching time. But, good vibes were sent by the Chichimec Gods. The fenced 16 hectares site was locked and we had to wait 5 minutes before the guard could be found to open the gate. Boom! I took this only opportunity to manage and get a decent sketch of the Complex A or the House of the Thirteen Heavens, a pyramid and a sunken patio (patio not seen in my sketch). Our English speaking guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour fun. Neat place!
