Tzintzuntzan - Yácatas

The yácatas, which are numbered from I to V (beginning with one's back to the lake on the right) each had 12 ledges of about 0.90 m (3 ft) and could be reached by steps. These temples were built using flat stones laid one upon another which were held together by walls of varying sizes. For the outer covering the volcanic stone "xanamu" was used, combined in regular pieces with a mixture of clay and pebblestone.
