Teotihuacán

Teotihuacán is an ancient Mesoamerican metropolis located in the state of Mexico, 40 kilometers (25 km) northeast of modern-day Mexico City, in a sub-valley of the Valley of Mexico that reached its peak as the biggest city in the pre-Columbian Americas around 2,000 years ago. Some of the most spectacular Mesoamerican pyramids are still standing today, and they're astonishingly well-preserved as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visiting this city is like going back in time, so it's no surprise that it is considered one of the most beautiful historical sites in Mexico and attracts millions of people each year.

The Pyramid of the Moon, a pyramid and temple that dominates practically the whole region, is one of Teotihuacán's main attractions. The pyramid, which was finished in the fifth century, has a long history of being utilized for numerous rites and astronomical observation. Furthermore, the pyramid conceals an earlier building, explaining its historical function as a burial ground.

While the Pyramid of the Moon is spectacular, the Pyramid of the Sun is the biggest in Teotihuacán. This huge pyramid, with a height of more than 200 feet and a base diameter of 2,608 feet, inspires astonishment in visitors. When you climb the steps, you may see the remnants of a temple.
