Tour of Teotihuacan Ruins April 7
Teotihuacan, the most visited ancient ruins in all of Mexico is definitely a must-see while traveling in Mexico City. This ancient city is impressive just coming up to it. The Pyramid of the Sun is the third largest pyramid in the world and the amount of ruins left in tact are a site to see. Above is the site from the top of the Sun Pyramid. You can see the Moon Pyramid along with the Calle de los Muertos, Street of the Dead.
Don’t plan on some casual site-seeing while here. Be prepared for plenty of walking and climbing. The high altitude of the area will no doubt exert your body more than usual. Once inside the entrance for the ruins finding water will be a difficult task. Mare sure you have plenty of water bottles, a sun hat, and a camera for all the great pictures. The best time to arrive is in the morning. You will be able to avoid the crowds and the heat or rain depending on the time of year.
Most hotels in Mexico City offer tours to Teotihuacan for reasonable prices on tour buses. It won’t get you there early but you will be able to visit the Plaza de la Tres Cuturas and the Basilica of Guadalupe. If you rather take a cab it is a 45 minute ride from the city center. However, you can also arrange private tours with a driver who doubles a tour guide. These might work out cheaper depending on the amount of people traveling with you. Whichever way you get there make sure to get there and have a couple of hours to spend seeing these amazing ruins of Teotihuacan.
