Huaca
el Pueblo is a site with monumental architecture and residential areas
situated in the Zaña Valley. It lies very close to the Panamerican
Highway to the south of the river.

The site is
dominated by a step-and-fret pyramid of about 25 meters in height.

This
pyramid is associated with a series of residential and ritual platforms
containing numerous rooms and corridors.

This part
of the monumental structure may have constituted, among other things,
residential facilities for the elite living at the site. It is suspected
that there is probably a vast residential area as well but still buried
under windblown sand.
