Peralta, Mexico
Peralta
Peralta is a prehispanic Mesoamerican archaeological site located in Abasolo Municipality, Guanajuato, just outside the village of San Jose de Peralta in the Mexican state of Guanajuato. The region was initially settled around 100 AD, and the site reached its apex between 300 and 700 CE, during which time Teotihuacan was declining and Tula was rising. According to archeologists, the city declined and collapsed by 900 CE due to overexploitation of the surrounding deciduous rainforest, leading the population to revert to a nomadic lifestyle.
