Pyramid in Hidalgo.

Medium sized stepped pyramid with stair on the west side. It looked like it once had up to 6 levels, of which only the lowest one is in good shape while the north-west corner of the 4th level and 2 corners of the 5th level remains recognisable.
There is a huge standing stone in front of the pyramid, which was dug out and re-erected by INAH in 1982.
