A canyon city of red stone, sun temples and desert trade at the edge of the Xicalan interior.
In Xicalan, salt, stone and relentless light define the terrain. Its desert routes, canyon settlements and sun temples belong to a landscape where water determines every journey.
Spoiler-free background from the world and its recorded traditions.
Broad red mesas break into narrow passes; salt and dry ground alternate with waterways and sheltered gardens. Stone stairs, canyon walls and distant stepped buildings dominate the view. Heat changes the colours and the apparent distance of every landmark.
