Los Guachimontones

On our Preparation day Saturday July 25th we went with our assistants to see  a pre-hispanic archaeological site called Los Guachimontones.  It is about an hour away from Guadalajara and is scattered with the  remains of the Teuchitlan people.   The focal point of these ruins are circular stepped pyramids in the center with dwelling places and evidence of central gathering places surrounding the main pyramid.  We felt like we were smack dab in the center of Book of Mormon land.  It was so interesting and breathtakingly beautiful.


These first few pictures are in the visitors center with diagrams and explanations of this era.


I know... wowzers..









Then we walked around the site and it was amazing.
