Castillo de Teayo Attractions

19km/12mi north-west of El Tajín lies the industrial town of Pozo Rica (60 m (197 ft); population 224,000), 15km/9.3mi north of which in the direction of Tihuatián a road branches off to Teayo (Huastec: "in the stone tortoise"; a further 22km/13.6mi). The main plaza of the village is dominated by the excellently restored Castillo de Teayo Pyramid, a triple-tiered structure almost 13 m (43 ft) high, on the upper terrace of which are the remains of a rectangular temple. Stone carvings discovered near by, mainly of Aztec origin, can be seen displayed in a small museum.
