If you want to experience the Mexico beyond the beaches, you've got to include a visit to Teotihuacan. The site boasts the third largest pyramid in the world and you can walk up to the top. Be forewarned, it is a climb. Just make sure you get to the top so that you can see the entire site from a... more

Teotihuacan was quite an impressive site with the third largest pyramid in the world. I would not say, however, that it was nearly as beautiful as other archaeological sites that I have visited elsewhere, but it is still worth a visit, even from Guanajuato. On the downside, this was the only place on our trip that we got seriously hastled... more

.Pyramid of the Sun, the most spectacular and the largest known pyramid in North America is located only 45Km or less outside of Mexico City. This was the Capitol of the Toltec Empire era 300AD or before, and is a City fairly intact. This City is called Teotihuacan. It is consisted of the pyramid of the Sun, and the lesser... more

Could have spent more time at the Pyramids, but the Hot Air Balloon ride made up for it. Take the Hot Air Balloon ride in the morning, spend the rest of the day walking among the pyramids. Maybe go back a second day. I read the climb was difficult but not so, you will probably be breathing heavy, but its... more

We went to Teotihuacan a few months ago on a day tour from Mexico City, and it was well worth the trip. Teotihuacan is an absolutely gigantic complex, so be prepared for lots of walking (mostly on gravel). The Moon and Sun Pyramids offer a great view of the area, and a photo opportunity of the Avenue of the Dead.... more

As first time visitors to Mexico City we were told not to miss the Pyramids at Teotihuacan. Not too far from Mexico City it is well worth the trip. Out of nowhere are several large pyramids where you can climb to the top to get a good sense of the magnitude of the structures. We had the good fortune to... more

I got to Teotihuacan after having ridden the bus 4 hours after I didn't get off at the right place. This is truly an amazing place.The third largest pyramid is here.Man is it immense. You can't help wonder about the people who built this place. I climbed the Pyramid of the Moon. You can see all around from these pyramids.The... more

Teotihuacan is a definite must-see close to Mexico City! It consists of an extremely large (but characterless) 'city' area punctuated by two large pyramids, which are really the main attraction. The larger pyramid is climbable all the way to the top, for people of all ages (toddlers to senior citizens). The climb is fairly (but not extremely) strenuous, and stairs... more

Awe-inspiring is the only way to describe Teotihuacan. My family and I visited the place recently and it truly makes you think about the type of civilization that produced such an enormous and majestic place. What makes it even more fun for the traveler is that because nothing definitive has yet been established about the civilization that built this area... more
