Temoaya

The Otomí people find their voice in a monumental architectural space that, despite being built during the 20th century, powerfully conveys the strength and grandeur of pre-Hispanic architecture. Majestically situated amidst the forests of a mountain range north of Toluca, the Otomí Ceremonial Center is a fascinating setting where the cultural traditions of one of the original nations of Mesoamerica persist. The builders of the Otomí Ceremonial Center were inspired by the characteristic elements of pre-Hispanic architecture from central Mexico, such as grand staircases, sloping walls, and plazas, to which they added contemporary artistic expression with various large-scale sculptures, creating a site of great character and evocative mysticism. It also features spacious grassy areas that are ideal for family activities. For several years now, the Otomí Ceremonial Center has also been an important landmark in the world of sports, as national and international athletes frequently come here for high-altitude training
