Pyramid "El Pueblito"
Since you come to El Pueblito get to see a Toltec pyramid atop which stands a Spanish house. Personally, I never imagined that in the greater metropolitan area of the city of Queretaro could find an Indian ceremonial center as large and important as The Great Cue, also known as El Cerrito.
This shrine was first inhabited by Chupícuaro, around the year 400 BC C, then was occupied by the Teotihuacan and, ultimately, by the Toltecs. Thanks to its location, nestled in a very central point, it became a religious center and most important trade in the region.
It is said that with the arrival of the Spanish was used El Cerrito for the Indians would begin to relate to Catholicism.
Time passed and the vegetation began to eat the indigenous constructions. The land was acquired by an influential family in the state, the new owners decided to build on top of El Cerrito house that seems strong, to take care of all their property, knowing who built the house on an ancient pyramid.
A few years ago began the excavation and restoration work of this ceremonial center, and it is possible to visit to learn what has been discovered at the site, also thanks the tour all visitors can soak up all the history of Mexico.
Getting there It should be Paseo Constituency and left into the road on Tejeda, following the signs to Corregidora.
