Teotihuacan Pyramids
In the morning, our guide and driver will escort you for 1 hour car ride to Teotihuacan. Get awestruck by the 2,000-year-old city ruins of a civilization that flourished for hundreds of years after the Olmecs (1200 - 900 BC) and then disappeared as mysteriously as it arose. Follow our guide and try to find clues from the artifacts on display at the Teotihuacan Culture Museum (Museo de la Cultura Teotihuacana). Walk along the expansive Avenue of the Dead (Avenida de Los Muertos), worship the majestic Pyramid of the Sun (Pirámide del Sol) and Pyramid of the Moon (Pirámide de la Luna), and imagine a prosperous scene where 100,000 people once lived.
