We got permission to spend the night, to tour the site tomorrow. Beautiful, quiet, secure spot, on a hill, requires levelling. We had no problem getting here in our 28' Class C.

It is the parking lot of the archaeological zone of Tzintzuntzan, at the end of the parking lot there is an entrance to a ranch, we asked the owner(red truck) and he said it was safe and that no one would bother us, so it was, the police came 2 times to check the area but they did not bother us, we felt safe and it was quiet at night.

Es el Estacionamiento de zona arqueológica de tzintzuntzan, al final del estacionamiento hay una entrada a un rancho, preguntamos al dueño(camioneta roja) y dijo que era seguro y que nadie nos iba a molestar, así fue, la policía vino 2 veces a checar la zona pero no nos molestaron, nos pareció seguro y tranquilo de noche.

The ruins are open again.
The parking lot is very sloped. I don't carry enough blocks to achieve enough level to keep from sliding out of bed.

The ruins are officially closed due to the pandemic, but they let you visit them. We stayed 3 nights here wonderful view of the lake and the mountains. Super quiet and safe. Highly recommended

Closed due to budgetary reasons. Just some signs on the gates.

The place is like as describe. Quiet snd safe. The man that working in the arqueological ruins, tell us that we can sleep in the parking without problems. The police came one time to watching the place and was good. Is a good spot for sleep!

Farmer said it was ok to park for the night, no charge. Keep clear of the gate as he brings the cows by at 4am for milking, tho we heard nothing. A quiet night with no bother. Site due to open at 9.

We parked up for the night at the end of the carpark. The farmer said it was ok to stay here, just that he’s coming by at 4am with his cows for milking.
No charge, no one bothered us, entered the ruins the next morning @9am.

We stayed overnight in the parking lot here - asking the caregiver when we saw him and it was no problem. Easy walk into the city and great views as well.

Parking-lot next to the ruins with a wonderful view over te lake. We asked the man working at the ruins if we could stay here to overnight. No problem, really save and quiet, police drives by during the night to check.
A local farmer owns the land with the cows at the end of parking-lot he will tell you not to get scared during the night (4am) when he arrives to milk his cows. Very friendly!
