ThenTeotihuacan,” the place where gods were created,” is one of the most important archaeological sites in the country. The history of Teotihuacan is quite mysterious, and the earliest buildings were constructed around 200 BC. It is assumed that the city may have counted 200,000 inhabitants during its period of prosperity. In those years, Teotihuacán was the biggest city in the American continent and one of the biggest in the world. Until its inhabitants abandoned the city around the 8th century, Teotihuacan was probably ancient Mexico’s most important and civilized cultural centre.

During this guided excursion, you will encounter the magic and mystery of Teotihuacan. Admire the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon. Walk down the Avenue of the Dead and visit the Temple of Quetzalcoatl with its unique stone sculptures of plumed serpents, the Temple of the Butterflies, and the Fortresses.
