Tzintzuntzan Archaeological Site

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:49:47

The Tzintzuntzan archaeological site comprises an impressive group of five round, reconstructed temples known as yácatas . They are all that remain of the mighty Tarascan empire. The hillside location offers wonderful views of the town, lake and surrounding mountains and is rarely crowded. Recent additions include a new museum showcasing finds from the site and a small info point highlighting a project that's trying to entice the once abundant hummingbird back to the area.
