Explore the fascinating archaeological remnants of Chiapas at the Tenam Puente Archaeological Zone, located just 30 minutes (15 km) from downtown Comitán. This site is situated on a hill modified to create a series of terraces where you can observe ancient buildings, plazas, and ballgame courts.
Thanks to its strategic location on the route connecting the Chiapas Highlands with Guatemala, Tenam Puente had access to important trade networks, as evidenced by the alabaster objects, seashells, and metals found here.
Tenam Puente is notable for representing the transition from the Classic to the Postclassic period, marking one of the less studied stages of Chiapas archaeology. The citadel offers stunning views of the plains of Comitán, framed by numerous trees that enhance its beauty.
