"Located at the peak of a hill, this archeological site consists of a small pyramid dedicated to the god of pulque, an ancient alcoholic drink made from the agave plant. Once you've caught your breath from the climb up, let yourself be impressed by the pyramid and the surrounding view. Many people claim to feel a sense of magical energy when they're here." - Susannah Rigg

It's very good place to hike. From the entrance, the distance is 1.2km to the top but it would feel like 100km...because the road is very tough and climed. [Tips] The ticket booth is on the top and only cash available. The current price is 95pesos. And you should be careful when you go down, It is very slippery. The total round trip of time is 2 and half hours.

A beautiful place for a hike. It takes 50 minutes or more to reach the top, the pyramid area. Check the schedule to make sure you get there while still open. If you are planning on going by the end of the day, make sure you have enough time for the hike, resting time along the way and time to enjoy the view. Visit the pyramid (right side) and also take time to explore the area to the left. There is a fee you have to pay at the top, make sure you bring cash with you.

Very beautiful hike! It was definitely a tough climb up. It took us about 50 minutes to get to the top. Be very careful on the rocks coming down, especially after it has rained. I slipped and fell down hard on my back. But otherwise, it was beautiful and worth it!

This town is beautiful and the fact everyone in the town is into ufos makes it cooler, i would recommend comfortable clothes and good shoes when climbing as its a long hike

It is incredible!! 😍 The INAH closes the access to the mountain at 4pm for the safety of the people, it is a shaded area and gets dark really fast. The rocks can be slippery when wet, but it is beautiful! Unfortunately I arrived a little after 4pm and wasn't able to climb to the top and take picture of the pyramid, but was lucky enough to take a picture of it from the town. Another day I'll climb that mountain!

Hard level hike with awesome views. If you take it slow anyone can do it. It took us 1.5 to 2hrs to get to the top. Bring water. There are some people selling water/gaterorade, popsicles and small snacks at different points of the hike. Lots of shade and rocks. Enjoy!

When are in the area you should not miss visiting this place. Less for it’s archeological aspect, but more as a fabulous hike that results in an amazing view. You need some level of fitness as you cover almost 400 meters in height on a short distance. They tell you it takes 20 minutes, but unless you are a mountain marathon person, this is a lie. Take water and take your time. You will be joined by passionate Mexican. Enjoy the hike!
