El Cuajilote, Archaeological site in Tlapacoyan, Mexico.
The archaeological complex spans over 31,500 square meters and contains more than 500 structures ranging from 6 to 80 meters in height.
El Cuajilote reached its peak around 200 CE and remained active until 800 CE as a center for commercial exchanges between the Central Plateau and Gulf of Mexico.
The site features a ceremonial ball court with preserved stucco walls, feline sculptures, and a Tlaltecuhtli altar depicting a stone-carved frog with divine symbols.
The archaeological zone sits within the Filobobos area, which includes six different archaeological sites accessible through designated walking paths.
Astronomical markers made from volcanic rock, known as geoglyphs, extend one kilometer north of the main complex to guide ancient pilgrims.
