SolarMegalith visited on 1st Mar 2004 - their rating: Cond: 4 Amb: 5 Access: 4 There is easy approach from the parkplace, but I recommend taking the footpath from Cacaxtla.
The spiral building is a smaller, round-shaped pyramid build around 700 year BC. There's a stairway leading to it's top, and inside the pyramid two burials were found.
The other two constructions are The Serpent Building and Platform of the Volcanoes. The whole site is located on the top of the mountain and it's perfectly visible from distance, espacially from the route to Cacaxtla.
