Zona Arqueológica de Teotihuacan

Teotihuacan was one of the most remarkable cities of the ancient world. Today it's located 48km/30mi NE of Mexico City, and considered to be one of the world's great archaeological sites. In its day, it was massive, densely populated, and well organized. It was an important city for hundreds of years, and remained important to the Aztecs, though for different reasons than in earlier times.

Today, the city is the subject of continued research, and a steady stream of tourists and curious or religious travellers. For a small fee you can explore the great avenue, climb the two great temples, visit the temple of the feathered serpent, and investigate many other structures. There is a fascinating museum and stores where souvenirs can be purchased.
