Trincheras Hill, Archaeological ruins on mountain in Northern Sonora, Mexico.
The stone structures and terraced formations of Trincheras Hill extend across multiple levels, featuring walls, plazas, and defensive positions at different elevations.
The Trincheras Culture inhabited this mountainous site from 600 to 1500 CE, developing agricultural methods and constructing stone terraces for cultivation and defense.
Archaeological excavations at Trincheras Hill have revealed distinctive pottery patterns and farming tools that demonstrate the technological capabilities of its ancient inhabitants.
The site requires sturdy footwear for climbing the stone terraces, and visitors should carry water during exploration as temperatures often rise above 30°C.
Stone walls and structures at Trincheras Hill incorporate natural rock formations into their design, creating an integrated system of terraces visible from great distances.
