El Tepozteco is an archaeological site in the Mexican state of Morelos. It consists of a small temple to the Aztec god Tepoztecatl a god of the alcoholic pulque beverage.In the middle Postclassic Period various terraces and a small pyramid were built on one of the peaks of the Sierra de Tepoztlan overlooking the pre-Columbian town of Tepoztlan. The temple became important enough to attract pilgrims from as far away as Guatemala although the cult of Tepoztecatl was local to this site.
