about an hour and a half (by public transport) northeast of Mexico city is this beautiful mesoamerican ruin. Its something that should not be missed if you are in mexico city as a tourist. the pyramids of the sun, the moon, the feathered serpent and the long avenue of the dead are simply amazing. You can also climb to the... More

It has been a very good experience visiting the piramids! We could climb on the moon's piramide and the sun's piramid, much higher. the site is very large, you wal a lot but it's worth it. the view from the top of the piramid is wonderful. definitely worth the visit!

I visited quite a few ruins during my trip to Mexico. Teotihuacan was definitely my favorite! Once you get to gate 1, check the site's map and make sure you don't miss the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. The hawkers are quite annoying and it's impossible to escape them, so be prepared to say "no, gracias" all the time. If you wish... More

I have been to this incredible site about 4 times over the last 20 years and this last trip was by far the best. This change in experiencing Teotihuacan was attributed to the phenomenal experience i had this trip with my guide named "Gorilla" who is a toltec descendant and comes from a long line of shaman. He is extremely... More

Visited this site back in 2006 and today actually went over the ruins in a hot air balloon just after sunrise - highly recommended! After the flight we went through it on foot and it is as magnificent as I remember. Some areas that were open are now restricted either for safety reasons or due to excessive traffic damaging delicate... More

Never been to Egypt but Teotihuacan blew me away. Getting there is somewhat easy, start off by going to LA CENTRAL DE AUTOBUSES NORTE and look for AUTOBUSES TEOTIHUACAN "Gate 8", buses leave every 15 - 30 minutes for $40.00 pesos, extremely safe and fast, drops you off right in front of Gate 1. Entrance is $58.00 pesos, not that... More

The pyramids are huge and offer many insights into their building with the exposed pieces of their underbelly. The museum has a load of artifacts and because there are continual excavations there is always something new to see. Walking through the center of this ancient city, ignoring the vendors of chachkis, really puts you in a different time. The newly... More

I have been to the pyramids of Teotihuacan several times, and each is more amazing than the first! Climbing the pyramid del sol is quite an adventure, be sure you do not have a fear of heights!! Once you make your way to the top, the views are priceless. You can see the entire landscape, including the "camino del muerto"... More
