"Hola", I am Armando, a passionate of history, archeological sites, museums, old artifacts and buildings. Nevertheless, it wasn't until recently that I was able to take a master in Mexican History. And after a while being involved in archive research to restore and rescue colonial buildings, now I found it hard to refrain myself from showing everyone the hidden stories behind monuments, historical sites, and old city spots that are normally overseen, even by locals. Still about myself: Read books and watch documentaries about science and history, watch and hear news about world current events, mountain biking, and hearing stories from people with different cultural backgrounds, are my personal hobbies. After introducing mysef, I trully hope you could take a minute or two looking into my tours descriptions, I am sure you'll be surprise of what you could learn about the ancient roots of Mexico, trying to understand the current one. I hope we could meet soon. Master degree in Mexican History by the Latin American University (2002-2004). History research coordinator for the restoration of colonial buildings (San Miguel de Allende 2009-2011).
