CANTONA
A Sea of Lava

This dazzling fortified pre-Hispanic city controlled the trade route between the Altiplano and the Gulf of Mexico. Everything about it inspires admiration: the acropolis, plazas, neighborhoods, approximately 4,000 interconnected streets, and numerous ball courts. Its skilled artisans worked obsidian.

YOHUATÉPETL
place of energy

A small stone sculpture with characteristic features of the Early Postclassic period found in Santiago Tepetlapa, Tepoztlán, allows us to deduce the establishment of complex exchange networks through which products, as well as ideas, passed and allows us to propose that this site was immersed in a pan-Mesoamerican dynamic.

TLAYACAPAN
The Tlatoani

Its charm lies in its customs, its traditions inherited from the Olmec culture and the occupation of the Xochimilcas, who settled and dominated this town in pre-Hispanic times. Its name comes from Nahuatl and means "on the tip of the earth," "place of limits or boundaries," or "the nose of the earth." It is one of the few towns that retains much of its original pre-Hispanic urban layout.

XOCHICALCO
At the Place of the House of Flowers

An indigenous city built on the summit of Xochicalco Hill, possibly to visually dominate the landscape. The ancient settlers built walls, ditches, and large access roads to fully control their entrances.

TULA
Place of Tules

The great Tollán, the city of Quetzalcóatl, seat of the Toltec culture, was the great capital of the central plateau of Mesoamerica, covering almost 16 square kilometers, with numerous public buildings, plazas, causeways, and abundant polychrome sculptures and bas-reliefs. At the top of the pyramid of Tlauizcalpantecutli, we find columns, pilasters, and the colossal Atlantes representing warriors with a spear thrower in their right hand and a bundle of arrows in the other. On their chests, they wear a butterfly-shaped breastplate and a kilt with a large belt; these stone sculptures are beautifully carved and engraved.

Cacaxtla Xochitécatl was a powerful political, military, and economic city that developed in the present-day regions of Tlaxcala and Puebla. It boasts some of the most extraordinary and best-preserved murals in Mesoamerica.
Xochitécatl left as a legacy the unique Pyramid of Flowers and amazing female clay figurines.
