El Cerrito sits in the municipality of Corregidora, on the edge of Santiago de Querétaro, and its story is longer and more layered than the "Toltec" label suggests. Occupation began as a farming settlement in the early centuries AD, and between roughly 400 and 650 it became the seat of a regional political unit in the Querétaro valley, part of a network of sites allied with Teotihuacan that controlled obsidian production and trade. The great pyramid, close to 100 feet tall by most accounts, dates to that period.
After Teotihuacan declined, El Cerrito kept growing, reaching a peak around the mid-seventh century and remaining a regional center for the worship of a fertility deity. Pilgrims from several peoples, including Chupícuaro, Toltec, Chichimeca, Otomí and Purépecha groups, are recorded visiting it as late as 1632. The Toltec connection is partly an interpretation: archaeologist Carlos Margáin judged the architecture to show Toltec influence after a 1944 visit, so sources vary on how much weight to give it.
The colonial chapter is what makes the site unusual. For generations the pyramid belonged to a hacienda, and what happened to the monument and the estate through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is part of what a guide can walk you through on the ground.
