Guachimontones: A Pre-Hispanic Treasure.
Just an hour west of Guadalajara, discover Guachimontones, a pre-Hispanic treasure in Jalisco. This site, epicenter of the Teuchitlán Tradition, arose around the Tequila volcano.
Guachimontones flourished between 200 and 400 AD, declining around 900 AD. In its ceremonial center, there are stepped cylindrical structures, ball games, amphitheaters and terraces. The site has concentric circular structures, reflecting a political and ritual design. These structures, used to worship gods such as Ehecatl (God of the Wind) reveal restricted access to the ruling elite and priestly caste. Although its exploration continues, it reveals a peculiar architectural style known as Guachimontón, characterized by mounds and stepped circular structures. Although it covers 90 hectares, only 1.3% has been explored. At its peak, it was home to about 40,000 inhabitants.

In 2006, Guachimontones, along with the Agave Landscape and former industrial facilities of Tequila, was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, recognizing its historical and cultural importance.
