Teotihuacan – Temple of Quetzalcoatl

If you have time for a day trip and if you are ready to leave the Mexico City, go 25 miles northward and visit Teotihuacan. To most of the tourists this name does not say much, but I am sure that you have all heard of Temple of Quetzalcoatl, walk along the Avenue of the Dead, and climb the Pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the Moon. These world wide known attractions are all situated at the already mentioned archaeological site, Teotihuacan. Also known as the ˝city of the gods˝ from 200 BC up to 800 AD was a huge urban center with a population of 200,000, making Teotihuacan one of the largest cities in the world. To the Aztecs Teotihuacan is a sacred site despite the fact that it had been abandoned long before their time. The interesting thing is that no one was able to discover which ethnic group or the language was spoken by the inhabitants of Teotihuacan, so they are called “Teotihuacanos.” Except from the pyramids that are dedicated to the sun and the moon, you can see beautiful murals and carvings as well as few museums where you can explore the city’s amazing history. If you decide to visit this fascinating archaeological site, do not forget to take water, hat and sunscreen and if you are time-limited our advice is to skip the first entrance and start from the second where actually many tour groups begin.
