The experience
A Classic-period Totonac ceremonial center of niched pyramids that prefigures the famous El Tajín, set in cloud-forest hills near the pueblo mágico of Cuetzalan — often you have it to yourself.
El Tajín absorbs all the fame; Cuetzalan draws mostly domestic weekenders.

It's only worth the detour Nov–Apr. Turn up outside that window and you're looking at a different place; we'd rather say so than sell you the photo.
