  40 pesos? I will give you 30, sir!

Your little tour group will be conveniently deposited at this all-inclusive tequila-cactus juice-crafts shop right up front, prior to entering the pyramid complex itself. First things first, of course. They say it's a good idea to reinforce oneself with a shot or two before climbing and hiking. Sure. They want to part you wih your pesos early on as well! But you can enjoy the ethnic kitsch without going overboard. Certainly you may enjoy the complimentary swig of firewater, that's a tasty way to wake up alright.

What to buy: All manner of woven goods and obsidion and clay figures and masks and silver jewelry is on sale here. Be smart like my dear friend here, and don't accept the first prices requested. If you buy several pieces at the same time, the merchants are more likely to give you a lower $$$ amount. Good for you!
