Paquimé Archeological Site
- Website Go to website
A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the site was once a junction on the trade routes between Mesoamerica and North America.
The architecture of its houses with walls formed of water and earth and shaped with wood was ground-breaking for the time. Its waterworks are its most noteworthy feature: reservoirs, canals, irrigation ditches, drains, and more crisscross the houses through walls and passageways.
Archeologists calculate that the site holds the remains of at least two thousand rooms. You can tour several spaces, such as Casa de los Hornos, Casa de las Serpientes, Casa de las Guacamayas, and the ball courts.
