Come to discover the most celebrated capital in Mesoamerica during the Classic period (200 BC - 650 AD). I recommend to spend the whole day in this site because there are many noteworthy things to see. Due to the dimensions of the archaeological zone is very difficult to enjoy its cultural offerings in one visit, but I mazimize the tour with my designed routes. It is just one hour drive from Mexico City. Let me show you the hidden delights of this metropolis and admire the mural painting of Teotihuacan and enjoy the visit with a major understanding and appreciation of the plazas and palace architecture as well as the underground drainage system. See one of the best examples of sculpting and painting of the Feathered Serpent Pyramid with its unique stone sculptures of plumed serpents. Climb the pyramids, explore palaces and structures, and feel immersed in the time of this city. I'll make your visit hard to forget. |

We'll start at the Ciudadela Compound to see the Feathered Serpent Pyramid with its unique stone sculptures of plumed serpents. Walk along the Street of the Dead to explore some structures such as the superimposed buildings and the West Compund until getting to the Pyramid of the Sun. If you want we'll climb the Pyramid of the Sun and I'll explain you some other things. Then, we'll continue to the Pyramid of the Moon, the Palace of the Jaguars and Quetzalpapalotl Complex.
Depending on your interest, we can visit some of the apartment compounds, the famous fresco of the Tlalocan in Tepantitla, the site museum or the Museum of the Teotihuacan Mural Painting. We'll have time to have lunch when it's most convenient for you, and make appropiate stops for rest, drink, photographs, etc. Tour duration can be tailored to fit your needs.
Optional: coming back we can make a quick stop to admire the facade of the Temple of San Agustin Acolman and if there is time we can visit the Exconvent. |
