In this interesting tour, full of history, culture and nature you will discover how the different pre-Hispanic civilizations that settled in this area lived and what their social, political and religious organization was like. Likewise, we will enjoy the charm of the ecosystem called low deciduous forest with its wetlands surrounded by unspoilt vegetation and we will also have the possibility of finding some species of animals that inhabit this fascinating environment. From the top of the park we can appreciate one of the best views , where the Copalita River and the Pacific Ocean meet the cliff. In this area we will also find the housing and cultivation terraces where most of this population of approximately four thousand inhabitants was concentrated.

3 hours Admission included

During the journey to the archaeological zone we make two small stops in a couple of viewpoints from where the best views of huatulco are mastered.

The Copalita archaeological zone is located in the middle of the jungle where we combine natural attractions with archaeology because the pyramid foundations are also located in that zone, such as the Main Temple, the Snake Building and the game e Pelota. We also climb to the viewpoint from where the Bocana is dominated, which is the part where the Copalita River meets the ocean and the cliff where some rituals, ceremonies and probably human sacrifices were also possibly performed. This is where the majority of the population lived, who were engaged in fishing and some in agriculture and hunting.
