  Zona Arqueologica Teuchitlan o Guachimontones

  The visit begins in the archaeological zone of Guachimontones, one of the most unique pre-Hispanic sites in Mexico and a key piece of the Teuchitlan tradition. Unlike other areas, here the structures are circular, integrated into the landscape and intended as ceremonial, social and symbolic centers. The tour includes the site museum, where explanatory videos are projected and the historical and cultural context of the place is presented, allowing to understand the origin, function and importance of circular pyramids before touring them. Afterwards, a guided walk through the archaeological zone is carried out, exploring the different structures, squares and pyramids, with clear explanations about their use, meaning and relationship with the environment. The tour is done with certified guides, at a quiet pace, allowing you to ask questions, observe details and enjoy the site without rush.
