/15mi away. The archaeological sites of Toluquilla and Las Ranas are open to visitors. The partially-restored Las Ranas ("The Frogs") can also be reached by car. Little is known of the builders of this late-Classic (ad 700-1000) site. They were probably influenced by the cultures of the Toltecs and that of Xochichalco, and possibly also by the Huastecs. Las Ranas consists of four levels, of which the two upper ones each have five buildings. The sloping and steep faces and the rounded-off steps, which suggests the Tablud-Tablero style, are striking.
