Chiapa de Corzo, Archaeological settlement in Chiapa de Corzo, Mexico.
The archaeological complex stretches across 70 hectares of land near the Grijalva River, featuring numerous pyramids and ceremonial structures from ancient civilizations.
The settlement emerged around 700 BCE as a regional center, controlling trade routes between the Pacific coast and the Gulf of Mexico through the Soconusco region.
Excavations revealed a mixture of Olmec and Maya influences in architecture and artifacts, indicating strong connections between these Mesoamerican civilizations.
The entrance to the archaeological site is located near the Nestlé plant, with taxis from the main plaza offering round trips including one hour waiting time.
In 2010, researchers discovered a 2,700-year-old pyramid tomb within Mound 11, representing the earliest known pyramidal burial structure in Mesoamerica.
