The archeological zone is located approximately 8 km (5 miles) of Puebla, by the Road Quetzlcoatl. It is regarded as the oldest America, has seven pyramids overlapping. One of the most impressive structures is that the pyramid was built in honor of Chiconahui Quiahuitl, which has a 400 meters (1320 feet) base, or what is regarded as the world's largest total volume.

Open Tuesday through Sunday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.


YOHUALICHAN ARCHEOLOGICAL ZONE:

This site is located approximately at 180 km of the city of Puebla in the Sierra Norte zone and at seven km to the east of Cuetzalan. The site is of particular interest because their vestiges verify the dominant presence of groups of the coast in this region of the mountain range. These coastal groups must have left Yohualichan forced by the advance of warrior groups from the center of Mexico. The site was a ceremonial center that surely had influenced others and it was consolidated to carry out some type of cult, still after it was abandoned. The part better known of this zone with influence of the Tajín is the area where we can see a similar monumental architecture to the one encountered in the metropolis. There is a ceremonial center that was built on a series of natural platforms that point towards the north. In the environs of this pre-Hispanic site there is a residential area, constructions that until today have not been studied.


The constructions of Yohualichan present very special characteristic such as the alignments of niches that finish off the different buildings from the pyramidal structures. Also it is possible to notice that some of the niches are double, meaning, that some of them contain another niche in their interior. Some of these elements still conserve some of the original stucco that covered them. The niches were covered with a flat rock, characteristic that confers a very singular aspect to them. One of the ritual activities of greater importance conducted periodically in the site was the ball game, for which they have parallel and extended constructions on the south side of the site.
