In the last ten years, the World Heritage Volunteers (WHV) initiative has grown enormously due to the growing interest and appreciation for the protection and preservation of World Heritage sites. Xochicalco is an archaeological site of the Epiclassic and is one of the most important sites in the State of Morelos. This place has a great architectural importance, because thanks to it you can know the economic and research activities of that time.
