Iztépete


On Sunday, we visited a site containing several ancient pyramids that very few visitors to Guadalara realize even exists, Iztépete. It lies near the city's periferico, so none of the archaeological sites near Guadalajara is more accessible than Iztépete. A pre-Columbian stone construction, ceramics found at Iztépete suggest that occupation here stretches back at least to the fifth century A.D., but it is unknown who built these pyramids.
