The obsidian workshop that led archaeologists to Guachimontones is a good place to begin. It was an ancient obsidian workshop that drew the Weigand team to the ruins, and over three decades of study they pieced together the Teuchitlán tradition.
The key architectural feature is the circular layout: round pyramids set within round plazas, with a pattern of surrounding platforms. The tallest, at Circle 2, is about 18 metres with 13 steps up to a first level.
Scholars estimate that at its height, more than 50,000 people may have lived within about 15 miles of the Tequila volcano, though such figures are estimates. A visit to the on-site museum helps interpret the site before you walk it, and the lakeside lunch at Presa de la Vega rounds off a calm half-day.
