The "Pyramid of Sonora" Trincheras


The pueblo of Trincheras, Sonora is located near Mexico Federal Highway 2 between Santa Ana and Altar.  

About a mile west of the highway toll booths at the midpoint between Altar and Santa Ana, the road to Trincheras is marked by a sign and a red bus stop  Turn south on that road, drive 22 kilometers (about 14 miles, drive slowly through the gulley and keep an eye out for cattle), and you'll be in Trincheras.

Trincheras has a rich history and culture, including a terraced hill that is an archaeological treasure made hundreds of years ago by local inhabitants.  It was also home to 1850's historical figure Joaquin Murrieta.
