El Cerrito

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:58:28

If you happen to be interested in archaeology, check out El Cerrito , a 30m-high pyramid-like structure sitting atop a small hill located in El Pueblito, 7km from central Querétaro. Archaeologists, who are still excavating the site, believe it was occupied between AD 600 and 1600 by the Teotihuacán, Toltec, Chichimec, Otomí and Tarasca cultures. Besides the pyramid, there are the remains of a possible ball court and some outlying structures. A later fort-type construction on its top dates from 1876.
