Marvel at Cuarenta Casas Archeological Site

Also known as “las casas de los Acantilados” (“cliff dwellings”), this is an archeological site set inside Cueva de la Ventana (“Window Cave”). The pre-Hispanic complex has 15 adobe dwellings from the 8th century. 

Adobe and wood were used to build throughout the canyons of the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains. In recent years, researchers with the INAH (National Institute of Anthropology and History) have located more than 180 similar sites.
