Cuetlajuchitlán is a mesoamerican archaeological site located 3 kilometers southeast of Paso Morelos, northeast of the State Guerrero, Mexico.
It was discovered in 1991 during construction works of the highway from Cuernavaca to Acapulco that crosses 50 meters below (through a tunnel) "Los Querendes".
This site was one of the main prehispanic population centers in this region during the late preclassical, of groups deriving from the Mezcala culture, in the large settlements of the Rio Balsas. Its development occurred from 800 BCE to 300 CE, with relevance to archaeology of the Guerrero state, due to its antiquity and functional architectural style, primarily for the storage and drainage systems, as well as the construction of stone columns.
