Zona Arqueológica Teuchitlán o Guachimontones

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!

It's beautifully situated on the top of a gradual medium height mountain overlooking a beautiful valley below Bit of a walk to the top with some scattered ruins along the paved walk. Definitely well worth it. We didn't buy tickets ahead and didn't have to wait at all. That was more than 6 yrs ago though. I would have loved to spend the whole day there! I hope to go back again soon.

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

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.

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 site was amazing. Get a guide who knows the area to take you on a tour. You have to arrange this ahead of time but if you ask enough people you'll be able to find someone. Our guide worked in excavation at the site for 20+ years so he knew what made it special and he shared culturally significant information. The museum was good but we definitely got to see the inside works by having a guide. Tip: if you're not in decent shape, or if you're traveling with young children or older adults, ask at the museum about getting a ride to the site. It's not a long walk but it's very steep, there's no shade, and nowhere to sit down.
