Mexico State of Mexico San Juan Teotihuacán

San Juan Teotihuacán

An ancient Mesoamerican city known for its vast archaeological complex, including the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon.

Tips from the community

Mexico’s most famous archaeological complex is still shrouded in mystery which is astonishing considering it’s over 2,000 years old and has been the subject of international research for decades. These treasured pyramids are so old that we don’t even know who built them. The City of the Gods is an amazing place to visit and a spectacular one to view from above. Why? Well, because it is gargantuan in every sense. Teotihuacan covers more than 32 square miles and boasts a main pyramid that’s 700” long and 230” high. We dare say it is impossible to get a true picture of this incredible complex and awe-inspiring construction of it if not from the air. The glass of bubbly that’s offered mid-flight and the guided tour of the complex once on the ground certainly helps make it an even more valuable experience. Where from?

    Mexico City / La Ciudad de Mexico / CDMX has it all. European charm, Latin flair, Aztec and Mayan dynamism, and all the familiar comforts of the USA. And did I mention the food? Or the 150 museums? Frankly, I'm thinking of getting an apartment there. If you're headed there, get a place in Juarez or Roma Norte (for safety reasons, but also because it's gorgeous) :)
