We spent the day on a tour from our hotel to the Basiica and Teotihuacan, we had an amazing tour guide who provide fantastic detail in both Spanish and English. The pyramids were spectacular and you are able to climb to the top of the sun and moon pyramids. My friends were too tired and scared of heights to walk... More

Whilst I enjoyed Teotihuacan, I think it is my least favourite of all the sites I have visited in Mexico so far. Tis is because it is out in a very arid area with no shade, so you really can 'fry' whilst you ar climbing the templese or just walking around. There is no doubt, you get a great sense... More

It's an archeological place that you SHOULD visit, it's very beautiful and if you have enough energy, you can go to the top of the Piramide del Sol and see the greatness of the Aztecas

Truly a must see if you are in the area. Gorgeous views. Go with a local guide to get true insight and history. Bring water and wear good walking/climbing shoes. Even if you don't climb the pyramids, just viewing the site is an incredible experience.

The pyramids of Teotihuacan are simply incredible. You can easily spend half a day here wandering around the giant works of architecture. If you can climb it, the Sun pyramid offers spectacular views from the top. We went by bus from the center of Mexico City, it's very easy to get to. The pyramids are a fascinating glimpse into Mexico's... More

One of the highlights was being able to climb to the top of the sun pyramid. The site is just spectacular and in addition to the two large pyramids, they are smaller buildings with significant detailing as well as fabulous murals. After seeing pyramids at Tajin, Cholulu, Coba, and Tulum .... this is my favorite site yet. Also have the... More
