Zona Arqueológica Teuchitlán o Guachimontones

A must visit for history lovers. The oldest of all the sites in Mexico. Very clean and well kept. Great facilities and it is lovely to see the school children visiting daily. It is important to raise more funding for excavation. Let's not forget that America had some of the world's most advanced and culturally rich ancient civilizations.

Well worth a visit. The museum is awesome! The pyramids are cool, but it is a hard walk up to them.

Such an amazing site! The highlight of my trip to Mexico! It is the rainy season so everything is lush and green. Fascinating history and palpable energy. Reasonable drive from Guadalajara. My guide was fantastic! Be sure to look for obsidian pieces from the nearby volcano. Highly recommended!

Place is amazing. There is a secret tour that shows you some alien faces and non-replica pieces carved into stone you got to figure it out though. Hot weather and worth to try the guided tour. Very pleasant and magical place.

Visited with a local guide we learned about this area. The site has quite a bit of work completed and still has so much more ahead. I would recommend a visit.

Just visited the incredible Guachimontones archaeological site near Teuchitlán, Jalisco! These circular pyramids are unlike anything else in Mexico and a truly amazing sight to behold, sitting at the base of the majestic Tequila volcano. It's wild to think that the people who built this place lived here long before the lifetime of Jesus Christ. Highly recommend this for any history or architecture lover! #Guachimontones #Jalisco #Archaeology #Mexico #TequilaVolcano #AncientHistory

Beautiful site, well maintained. Be aware it is a long steep walk up the hill to the site. Worth it, but bring a water bottle. Hand Craft vendor offerings were a disappointment, but the ancient site was beautiful and the museum was great.

This archeological site is vastly underrated. The stone structures and the ball fields are paired with an interactive museum and amazing views. I recommend taking the guided site tour that the museum offers (the museum runs guided museum tours a few times a day too). Pair it with a visit to the restaurant with a viewpoint and have one great day in this beautiful region of Jalisco.
