What to See
The Main Attractions
🏔️ Pyramid of the Sun — Pirámide del Sol
Third largest pyramid in the world at 65m. Climb for extraordinary panoramic views. Go early — very hot by midday.
🌙 Pyramid of the Moon — Pirámide de la Luna
Best photograph you'll take in Mexico — Pyramid of the Sun perfectly framed behind you from the top.
🛣️ Avenue of the Dead — 4km Long
Walk the full ceremonial avenue to understand the scale. Once home to 125,000 people at its peak.
💡 Best combo: Teotihuacán in the morning → back by 2pm → Xochimilco canals in the afternoon → dinner in Roma Norte. One of the best days you'll ever have.
⚠️ Go early — arrive at opening (9am) to beat the heat and crowds. Bring 2+ liters of water. UV radiation is stronger at altitude. Sunscreen is essential.
