Xochitécatl Archaeological Zone

Amazing site. Nobody was there and this was unfortunate we had a clear view of Popo and Itzta. The site is not huge but the same ticket gets you into Cacaxtla. The museum has amazing pieces in it. Come visit and see Cacaxtla as well. You won't regret the extra 15 minute drive to experience Xochitecatl which is even older than Cacaxtla.

Found some old photos, so here is what I remember from my trip in 2006. The spiral pyramid was odd, I believe it is the only one of its kind in the country. The big pots, or wells, or whatever they were. Got some cool IR shots with one of my early infrared-modified cameras. Certainly a neat little worth visiting if you are in the area.

It is part of our Mexican culture, and definitely you'd love the history of it!!!

This is a beautiful place, more interesting than Cacaxtla. This archeological area represents the feminine energy, has four pyramids. One for Ehecatl, another for the volcanoes, other for the serpent of feather and the last one for the flowers.

I came to this pueblo to visit family. They told me about these ruins and we decided to go. I climbed a lot of stairs but it was so worth it for the view up top. If you're ever visiting Mexico and happen to be near Tlaxcala, definitely stop by. The pictures don't do the views justice, they must be seen in person!

Hidden pyramids, so you can be there almost alone.
Best time in the morning, with a great view to the volcanos.

Must see. Fabulous

Great place to visit and learn about old mexican cultures

Beautiful views of the surrounding area, especially of the nearby volcanoes on a clear day

A beautiful hidden gem

I loved this place. It isn't crowded and no vendors inside the pyramids grounds. We ate great authentic Mexican food right outside the archaeological site made to order.

Good facilities on site, toilets, gift shop, small shop for drinks and ice cream.
The canteen was shut when we visited (low season) but there are vendors outside the site entrance for hot food.

Stunning views. I was there on a Tuesday after 4pm the weather was perfect and there with only 3 o 4 other visitors.

Very well conserved ruins from the pre-Columbian era. Murals, pyramids and temples. You can walk to the next ruins 1km away bring comfortable shoes

Beautiful place, not crowded, would like to have more explanation for the museum.

Great archaeological site that is not a widely known as the likes of Teotihuacan nor Tula. But the paintings are stellar.

Great place to visit. A lot of culture and good views.

XD

It has plenty of parking available. The place offers a great outdoor experience.

Loved it.. One of the most beautiful ruins I have visited
