Check Out the Ruins of Yohualichan

Cuetzalan Mágico

Yohualichan, the ceremonial center that once formed part of the great Totonacapan region administered by El Tajín, is located 4 miles north of Cuetzalan. Like in El Tajín, the architectural style is characterized by decorated pyramidal structures over a niche-filled base. Seated on a mountainside that slopes down from south to north, there are a number of structures built on natural esplanades. The Mesoamerican ballcourt has the highest position relative to the platform where the ceremonial center is located. This, in turn, comprises a quad surrounded by a number of structures that give the complex an impressive appearance.
