Located in the middle of two main roads, the Cuiculco pyramid would be the oldest pre-Columbian construction of the Mexico City Valley to date. Some researchers consider that its construction dates back to the year 6000 BC, but this assumption does not make consensus, and other archaeologists are building its construction in the year 600 before J.C. The reasons for the circular form of the pyramid, which is unique in Mesoamerica, have not been clarified either. In fact, the story of the pyramid of Cuiculco is full of mysteries, which only reinforces the magical atmosphere of the place. The Pyramide pyramid is located halfway between Coyoacán and Xochimilco. You can easily stop there if you visit Ciudad Universitaria or visit the floating gardens of Xochimilco. There is a small museum inside the archaeological zone.

La Pyramide de Cuicuilco est l'une des constructions les plus curieuse que j'ai vu au Mexique, elle est tout simplement unique, non seulement par sa forme circulaire mais aussi parce qu'elle a été ensevelit sous une coulée de lave suite à une éruption volcanique. Il a fallu dynamiter le site pour qu'elle puisse être révélée au grand jour. C'est un site exceptionnel!
