Mysterious origins

likely
dates back to the
early 2nd century BC
However, little is known about the ancient people who built it a thousand years before the Aztecs came into power and Cortez arrived.
When to come
Summer
Middays can be sweltering, so come early or late to avoid the heat (and crowds). And early is preferable to late because thunderstorms occur more frequently in the afternoon.
Winter
In the wintertime, the temperature can become nippy and a bit raw.
