My Trail
Your personal route through The Village of Memories.
Lupita · The girl of the trunk
Which branch of the family are you from? Choose below and I'll show you your places. And if you don't know yet, we can explore together too.
Perfect! Let's explore the whole village: the ranchos, the plaza, the orchards — even the road north. I'll let you know when we find something about the family.
Ah, the López family! Your people are from La Huacana: ranchos, cattle, and arpa grande afternoons. Grandfather Salvador was born here; look, I marked your places with a golden glow.
The Duarte family! Your people are from Ario de Rosales: orchards, market days, and church bells. Grandmother Herlinda grew up here; look, I marked your places with a green glow.
The branch that joined the two towns! Your trail begins at Salvador and Herlinda's wedding and passes through both houses. I marked everything that is yours.
Hello! I'm Lupita, and I grew up in these towns in the 1950s. I'll walk you through the streets, the ranchos, and the roads. Every place you visit leaves a stamp in your trunk.
