About Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan
Once one of the largest cities in the world, Teotihuacán was already an ancient ruin when the Aztecs named it 'the place where the gods were created'. Its Avenue of the Dead runs between the immense Pyramids of the Sun and Moon, flanked by temple platforms and murals. Climbing the pyramids and grasping the sheer scale is a highlight of any trip to central Mexico.
