The little town of Teuchitlan is on the other side of the volcano from Tequila. Almost a 2 hour bus ride from Guadalajara through sugar cane and agave country. It is the home of an amazing archeological site (Guachimontones) - a complex of round step pyramids that were just uncovered about 20 years ago. This place was so beautiful and gentle and serene. The big challenge for me was the hike from the plaza to the site. Hot, sunny day and a steep, steep climb. Fortunately, kind people took pity and gave me rides. Humbling. And so endearing...The view coming into town was breathtaking - a lake on one side and the volcano on the other. It was so obvious why these people chose to build here. The museum and English video were helpful to us before we headed up. Lots of artifacts. Lots of obsidian. Beautiful views. Peaceful.
