Chiapas is a state that is located in the southeast of the Mexican republic, bordered by Tabasco, Oaxaca, Veracruz, the Pacific Ocean, and the republic of Guatemala. To get to Tenam Puente you can only arrive by land, using the highway out of Tuxtla Gutierrez, the state capital, heading to Comitan. Just 10 kilometers south of the city you will find the dirt road that leads to the archaeological site.
This Maya site of the classic era, is 10 kilometers from Comitan, on a hill that was modified to create a series of terraces on which the buildings, squares, and ball courts are distributed. Singular, is the cut of the calcareous stones used in its construction, perfectly ensembled and fit, without mortar or plaster. From Tenam Puente, you have an exceptional panoramic view of the Comitan plains. The landscape is richened by the presence of trees covered with epiphytal plants, whose growth is favoured by the humidity that the hills capture from the winds. Today the National Institute of Anthropology and History, maintains a rescue program of this archaeological zone.
