The Pyramids of Teotihuacán Travel Reviews

Feb 09, 2008
The first time I went to Mexico my stepfather took us to a couple of nice places that we really enjoyed. They were both located less then an hour from Downtown Mexico City. The first attraction is the Pyramids of Teotihuacán which include two pyramids the "Pyramid of the Sun" and the "Pyramid of the Moon". They are both quite high we didn't have the energy to go all the way up, we only did half of the walk up. But even just halfway up you get to see this beautifull view of the valley and mountains. They have plenty of souvenirs being sold at the entrance and by the Pyramids. And also after the long walk I am sure you will be hungry so there are plenty of restaurants located right in front of the Entrance. Just be prepared to spend the whole day there.

The second attraction is in XoXimilco, in Mexico City. They are colorful boats with a long table and chairs with a guide that moves the boat with a long stick. You ride along this river and on the way there are other boats with the locals selling food, beer and drinks. Also you can stop on the way and have a good meal served and you just eat as he rows the boat. Then you will find a boat with mariachi's they will stop and ask if you want music played for a fee. (not expensive) We enjoyed this ride very much, it is quite relaxing.

ekthor says: The reason I went to Xochimilco was one and just one: to get a ride on the small boats called "Trajineras".
