Xochitecatl (pronounced so-chi-TEH-catl) is an archeological site southwest of Tlaxcala City. There is a regular state sponsored guided excursion each Sunday at 10:15 am by bus from the zocalo in Tlaxcala. The site consists of three pyramids: Spiral, Serpent, and the highest, Flowers. Explored in 1969, it wasn't until 1994 that the pyramids were uncovered.
The sacredness of this site in enhanced by the fact that on a clear day you can see the towering Popocatepetl volcano to the west and the equally impressive La Malinche volcano to the east. (Pictures taken May 2, 2004)
