Hidden gem. It’s amazing to stand on the home of a civilization that lived 3000 years ago. Great (yet small) museum tucked away in the back. Do your self a favor and check it out. Worth the trip for a bit of culture

Unique archeological site. Not too many round "pyramids" in this area. Completely surrounded by lava fields, that can be viewed by walking down a sinewy path surrounding the site.. a little unkempt but worth checking out. Glad I came to visit.

Interesting circular temple, different from the usual!
The site was free when we went (Saturday) and has a small if slightly aged museum. Signage has some English translation around the site, but Spanish only in the museum.
If you are nearby it’s great to drop in, otherwise I wouldn’t make the trip unless you are a die hard temple collector!

The archeological zone is impressive but it's also important to note that there is a museum at the end of your walk grub the ruins. It's absolutely fantastic! Great artifacts and history right in the center of the city!

Nice historic place. Free entrance. To spend an hour or two.

Excellent site if you're a noob for mexican culture; entrance is for free, they have translated information in english, it's clean and a little "adventurous", and you get to see how the lava setled from the last volcano Xitle eruption.
No guided tour, it's quite small and self explanatory.

Nice place, a bit of culture and nature in the middle of the crowded city.
