Balcon de Montezuma is located 26 km SW from Ciudad Victoria, near road 101 leading to San Luis Potosi. The site was occupied between 400 and 1200 BC, but it's heyday was in Late Classic period.

It consists of over 70 structures concentrated around two plazas, some of these buildings representing residential functions, the other religious ones. Most of the structures are poorly preserved, but excavations directed by Jesus Narez in years 1988-1990 brought lot of interesting finds including large amounts of Pre-Colombian pottery and smoking pipes.
