Tututepec, Archaeological site in Oaxaca, Mexico
Located 280 meters above sea level, Tututepec extends across 1,249 square kilometers of land in southwestern Oaxaca, near the Pacific coast.
Established in 1063, the Mixtec settlement maintained independence until 1522 when Spanish conquistador Pedro de Alvarado defeated the local warriors led by Cuaxintecutli.
The name translates to Bird Mountain in Mixtec language, while over 2,000 residents continue to speak Tututepec Mixtec as their primary language.
The archaeological zone contains multiple structures and artifacts that demonstrate the engineering capabilities of pre-Hispanic inhabitants through temples and ceremonial centers.
The surrounding region includes Lagunas de Chacahua National Park and supports agricultural production of watermelon, cantaloupe, papaya, hibiscus, and banana.
