Guachimicaga, Archaeological ruins in Teuchitlán, Mexico

The circular pyramids of Guachimontones rise in concentric terraces, reaching heights of 18 meters with bases spanning 52 meters in diameter.

Built between 200 BCE and 400 CE, these structures served as ceremonial centers for the Teuchitlán tradition of pre-Columbian western Mexican societies.

The central plaza, surrounded by circular pyramids and terraces, functioned as a gathering space for community rituals and religious ceremonies.

The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours, with entrance fees of 30 pesos and includes access to the Phil Weigand Interpretive Center.

The archaeological complex contains 166 mounds distributed across 6 square kilometers, featuring two ball courts and numerous underground funeral chambers.
