Exploring Ancient Teotihuacán
Located in Mexico, near Los Muertos and other significant landmarks, Teotihuacán was once the largest city during pre-Columbian times. Its origins are still a subject of archaeological debate despite being recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
- Begin a journey along the Avenue of the Dead — this 2-km ceremonial path connects major monuments and defines Teotihuacán's urban layout.
- Experience standing at the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. These pyramids are aligned with surrounding mountainous landscapes and celestial movements.
- Discover the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, noted for its intricate facades adorned with carved feathered serpent heads.
Your guide will explore Teotihuacán's cosmology, ritual importance, recent archaeological findings, and ongoing historical debates. Please note: climbing pyramids is not allowed; however, you are free to explore the Calzada de Los Muertos, various squares, and esplanades until 5 pm.
