"Traveling is soul-smashingly beautiful.
It will open up your life."
It will open up your life."
Coined as the City of the Gods, or also known as Teotihuacan. About 2 hours away from Mexico City, this mysterious but enchanting place will capture your interest. The Aztec built this pre-Hispanic empire and the two iconic pyramids (Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon) is astonishing. The architecture of the pyramids are striking, despite using rudimentary tools. To get to the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, ypu have to climb 248 steps. It is also said to be second largest pyramid in the world, next to Giza Pyramid in Cairo, Egypt. The Avenue of the Dead connects the two pyramids together.
Here are some tips before and while visiting Teotihuacan:
- Best time to go? We went during Spring (March-April) and the weather was just fabulous - not to hot while walking around and not to chilly. As always, always check the weather conditions before leaving for your vacation.
- Should you rent a car? Should you use public transportation to get here? Our recommendation is to book a tour or a private driver since the tours are already budget friendly and usually the entrance fee is already included on the fee. We do not advise renting a car in Mexico City.
- If you have a full day to explore, feel free to visit the other museum situated in the area.
- Avoid the crowd on Sundays, since locals can visit the site for free during this day.
- Bring a hat, sunscreen, umbrella, comfortable shoes and water to drink.
Seeing the pyramids is definitely worth the day trip and a must-see while vacationing in Mexico City. After all, this ancient site will definitely awaken your senses. As a matter of fact, Teotihuacan is a thousand years older than Machu Picchu or Angkor Wat. Old age history, combined with a picturesque landscape, can you really ask for more?
