Huápoca, Archaeological site in Chihuahua, Mexico

The Huápoca complex contains multiple cliff dwellings situated along canyon walls, including the prominent Snake Cave and Eagle's Nest structures.

The residential structures at Huápoca were constructed between 1000 and 1400 AD by the Casas Grandes culture, which maintained connections with Paquimé.

The architectural style of Huápoca demonstrates the connection between ancient Mexican and Southwestern United States communities through similar construction methods.

Visitors need to plan for a four-hour round trip walk from the entrance to reach the cliff dwellings, which are open daily from 9 am to 6 pm.

In 2018, with only 67 recorded visitors, Huápoca ranked as Mexico's least frequented archaeological site among those with regular staff monitoring.
