It is not just about seeing pyramids, but understanding a civilization. In this tour we will explore how Teotihuacán emerged, grew and fell: the first major planned city in the Americas.

We will start at the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, to discover the symbols of power that shaped its worldview. Then we will walk along the Causeway of the Dead, until we reach the Pyramid of the Moon and the Palace of Quetzalpapálotl, where the elite showed their influence through art.

For those who want an even deeper look, we offer an extended version of the tour that includes a visit to Tepantitla, home to the famous “Tlalocan” murals, where archaeology allows us to look at the colors, rituals and emotions of those who lived here almost two thousand years ago.

> With the guidance of an archaeologist, each stone tells a story.
Teotihuacán is not only an archaeological site, but a mirror of the origin of power and faith in America.
