Balcon de Montezuma

Balcón de Montezuma, also known as "Balcon del Chiue" is an archaeological site located at the Alta Cumbre ejido, some 18 kilometres south of Ciudad Victoria, in the state of Tamaulipas, Mexico [1]. The site contains vestiges and architectonic styles of human groups that inhabited the Sierra Madre Oriental region and the Sierra de Tamaulipas [1]. The original entrance to the site was via a large stairway of more than 80 steps located on the western hillside; it was built as an adaptation to natural limestone hill protrusions [1]. The site comprises more than 70 circular structures of different diameters and heights grouped into two small semi-circular plazas [1].
