Hi! My name is Enrique Ortiz , a passionate about Mexico's history and culture. Im a writer that already published 2 books with Penguin Random House Publisher, also a lecturer and a Official Tourist Guide (acknowledged by the Federal Ministry of Tourism, SECTUR). Join me to know the wonders of Mexico city and Teotihuacan, places with a lot of history, beautiful constructions and delicious food. Its not only about learning about the past and visiting beautiful places but spending a great time and convince you to return to Mexico! I was certified as a Federal Tourism Guide at the Tourism Higher School of the National Polytechnic Institute, where I graduated with honors as I achieved the second highest performance of my class. At present, I devote my time to my greatest passion: spreading and sharing the historic and cultural richness of Mexico. For eight years, I have organized and guided cultural and tourist tours in my country, which include the visit of archaeological sites, the historical downtown of Mexico City and Puebla, as well as of temples and convents built during the Viceroyalty. Thanks to the more than 200 tours I have guided, I am a faithful witness of the deep love and respect for Mexico reflected by my visitors and followers, who feel tempted to know more about my country's history and to come back again. In 2018, I was certified as a FEDERAL TOURIST GUIDE studying at the National Polytechnic Institute Tourism School where I graduated with honors as I achieved the second highest performance of my class. Im a writer mostly focused in prehispanic cultures (aztec and teotihuacan) and Mexico city history. Official name of the certification: NOM-08-TUR-2002 with 2 languages: Spanish and English None
