Chiapa de Corzo archeological site
After years of excavation, three Zoque pyramid structures (built approximately 1000 years ago) are now on view at the Chiapa de Corzo archeological site. On a trade route between the Pacific and the Gulf, the settlement had close ties to neighboring Maya and Olmec cultures.
