Tochtepec

Tochtepec is a place name of Nahuatl origin, meaning "Rabbit Hill." It refers to several locations in Mexico, most notably:

• Tochtepec, Puebla: A municipality located in the state of Puebla, Mexico. It is known for its archaeological significance, particularly related to the Popoloca culture. Historical records indicate it was an important pre-Hispanic settlement and later a significant site during the colonial period. The economy is largely based on agriculture.

• Tochtepec (also known as Tustepeque): An important political and economic center in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica, located in the present-day state of Oaxaca, Mexico. It served as a strategic point controlling trade routes and resources in the region, particularly those connecting the Valley of Mexico with the Gulf Coast and Central America. It was conquered by the Aztec Empire under Moctezuma I.
