This tour offers you something different: not only will we discover the ancient civilizations that built Teotihuacan, a city almost as big as Rome around 400AD, but also explore together ways of life, worldviews, art, local cuisine and living traditions. Moreover, we see what happened in Toltec and Aztec times, after the decline of the mighty city. The site of the famous pyramids was designed from scratch, with a perfect rectangular grid over a huge area. After a century of excavations and with modern tecniques and discoveries, this mysterious old site is slowly revealing the secrets about its political organization and its sudden decay in the 7th century. We go further than visiting the standard 3 restored pyramids, and I'll unveil little known details through mural paintings, ceramic findings and residences, far from the crowds. On the 2nd day, we complete the picture with a visit of Tula, to understand how the Toltecs took over its legacy and founded the base for the later Aztecs.
