Boat Ride Over a Flooded Otomi Indigenous Town

We will be meeting in Mexico City to travel west to the State of México which is an approximate of an hour and a half away. Thirty minutes before arrival to Villa del Carbon, we will begin to enjoy of the beautiful views that this small town offers as its located in a forest. Founded in 1713, developed slowly and home for indigenous Otomi people who now live close by their lake. We will walk around this magical town to see the main square and their markets which will let us sample the delicious local food. We then travel to the lake of Taxhimay which currently holds in it depth the town of San Luis de las Peras. We will learn why the town was flooded and how the indigenous people adapted to this situation through out the years. We will ride a boat over the lake to get close to the buildings that still stick out surface to then eat with the locals to support the families in the area.
