If you are looking for ruins that showcase several of the important pre-Columbian civilizations and you are visiting central Mexico, then a trip to Xochicalco is in order. Located two hours south of Mexico City, the Xochicalco ruins are built on a hill and have Aztec, Zapotec, Mayan, and other influences.
These stunning structures were used for religious, commercial, and other purposes, but today the archeological complex serves as a great place to take in the rich, multi-faceted history of this region while enjoying sweeping views thanks to the hilltop location.
Things we like:
-

-
The ruins are a great day trip from Mexico City
Things we don't like:
-
These ruins are not near any major tourist destination -
While impressive, it might not be worth the long journey just to see these ruins
-
Those interested in Mayan ruins specifically may want to focus more on Riviera Maya
