Teotihuacan and Tula: two day tour along ancient pyramids and 1000 years of history

This tour offers you something different: not only will we discover this ancient civilization that built a city in the first centuries AD almost as big as Rome, but also explore together ways of life, worldviews, art, local cuisine and living traditions.

The site of the famous pyramids was designed from scratch, with a perfect geometrical pattern that grew fast to cover more than 20 square kilometers (10 sq miles). After a century of excavations, this mysterious old site is slowly revealing the secrets about its political organization and its sudden decay in the 7th century.

A standard visit of the archaeological site includes the 3 restored pyramids. But I'll go further and unveil worldviews and daily life of the ancient inhabitants through mural paintings, ceramic findings and the visit of residential units, 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.

Surrounded by an incredible atmosphere, full of unique heritage from different times. From the Aztec temples to the XX-century functional architecture.

I think this place, means a lot to everyone in this country, in this city. It is Mexico's heart definitely. For better or worse, every happening has gathered the whole country here. Many uses and traditions had appeared through its streets and the people who had lived here. Since I was a kid, I remember coming here and experiencing the cultural display, that only downtown has, flavours, colours, music, a contrast between all the people from all races and countries. The downtown makes no distinction everyone is welcome here, because it's the place where all roads end.
