Pahñu, Archaeological site in Tecozautla Municipality, Mexico.
Located on Hualtepec hill, Pahñu contains multiple stone structures and ceremonial spaces spread across the elevated terrain of La Mesilla region.
The settlement flourished between 300 and 1100 CE, succeeding the Preclassic period of Chupícuaro culture and developing alongside Teotihuacan civilization.
The name originates from Otomi language, with 'pa' meaning hot and 'hñu' meaning pad, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the Mezquital Valley.
The National Institute of Anthropology and History maintains the site since 2007, with public access established in 2015 through designated walking paths.
Archaeological layers at the site reveal distinct patterns of social organization and technological advancements of the Xajay culture through recovered artifacts.
