It's an easy day trip, first take 45 min subway to Tasqueña...

...then find the bus station and go 2 hours to Miacatlan...

...and after a 15 min taxi ride up the mountain, viola! this is the view...


Model of the city ruins. Xochicalco had at least 6 levels.

The small but well-stocked museum.























Walk up to the ruins.

East side.

Big plaza, big pyramid.



Many levels are clearly visible.









Nice view of mountains and lakes.

The west ball court. Xochicalco has three!

Three?









Another big plaza.

The temple of the feathered serpent.

















"The acropolis" where the royals lived.

Can you really make tequila out of this?







It's a good day! (just hope getting back to civilization isn't too hard...)







The north ball court with huge and steep walls.

Original goal hoops. No wonder a game could last for days...

A steam bath. Yes, a sauna!

Tres piramides - three pyramids.

The east ball court.
