San Juan Teotihuacan Travel Blogs

When the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon were completed, the locus of construction at Teotihuacan shifted to the southern end of the Street of the Dead, where a complex called the Ciudadela—a sunken plaza large enough to hold most of the city's inhabitants—was centered on t…

  We got up early and took the subway and a bus to the ancient Aztec city of Teotihuacán. This is the largest pre-Hispanic city in Mexico, and almost the entire former religious centre has been restored. This is another place I had already visited three and a half years ago, but as it was o…

We got up at 7am today to head out to the Pyramids! This was both our first metro trip as well as our first bus trip to this area approximately 1 hour outside Mexico City. A lot of things strike me about Mexico City, and the first one is how kind and helpful people are. A nice young man helped us f…

Teotihuacán significa Ciudad de los Dioses y es una antigua ciudad perteneciente a una civilización anterior a los aztecas. De hecho los aztecas se influenciaron grandemente de esta cultura cuando viniendo del norte pasaron por aquí para fundar su país (México-Tenochtitlan).Delos teotihua…

The entry fee for the museum is included in the entry fee to the ruin. The fee is approximately $5.00 depending on the current exchange rate with an additional fee of $3.50 for a video camera. The museum and sculpture garden is located at Gate 5 or just to the south of the Pyramid of the Sun. This …

After driving back to Mexico City the day before, it was time to experience some of Mexico's culture. Abril had decided that today I would visit the Pyramids at Teotihuacan. I was pretty excited because this is the real reason why you travel; that and to try the local beer and locals.Manual packed …

And so, I had this whole European flavoured theme going on since I got to Mexico, I was almost convinced that that was the history of Mexico - strong cultural Spanish influence. But I guess what even the Spanish didn't realise when they invaded Mexico 300 years ago, is that there was a far old…

The amazing building of the Sun and the Moon.

Today we made the 2h trip to Teotihuacan, the Maya Pyramids near Mexico City. It was my second time there but still i think its absolutly unbelivable what those ppl built hundrets of years ago!!! As usual we were driven there by my hostfams driver so we didnt have to look for the right …

I've been to Mexico twice in 2001 and 2005. Once to Cancun (2005) and also from Mexico City traveling through to Acapulco (2001). I had a great time, well except for the almost death experience in Acapulco parasailing. The only thing I didn't like about going to Mexico was that I stuck out... tall and blonde aren't common there.

It's a wonderful country! I spend great time there! It seems that in Mexico you can find everything :) Amazing, beautiful nature, very interesting culture and many unforgetable excursions, high-level hotels, night clubs etc. Everybody should visit this country :)

Old civilizations of Maya's and Inka's, the piramides of the Sun and the Moon in Teotihuacan, night life of Mexico City and Guadalajara, beautiful nature, places, beaches, mariachi... Extrodenery people with big big heart that give more than they have - to everyone... All that tells the story about one of my favorite countries of Central America - Mexico

The Teotihuacán pyramids in Mexico City! These pyramids belonged to an ancient culture before the aztecs... nobody really knows who they were or how did they dissapeared, but their pyramids are amongst the world's greatest!

Today was our first tour and that was excellent as it would certainly help a lot so that my foot will get better.  Anyway, we woke up kind of late  so when we were dressed our guide was already there and we hadn't the chance to grab any breakfast. We left the hotel with the guide and a dr…
