Teotihuacán

Near Mexico City is this ancient Mesoamerican city, known as the biggest city apart from Rome.
Teotihuacan, which was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987, was settled as early as 400 B.C. and became the most powerful and influential city in the region by 400 A.D. By the time the Aztecs found the city in the 1400s and named it Teotihuacan (meaning “the place where the gods were created”), the city had been abandoned for centuries. Teotihuacan’s origins, history, and culture largely remain a mystery.

There were too many souvenir vendors on the site so I couldn’t enjoy the place at all.

P.S. Mexico City is super interesting, one sei are is dedicated for all the Mariachis who are looking for a job. The groups wait there until a restaurant owner comes and hire them. They use the time to rehearse on this square and certainly to earn a bit of money from all the tourists who gather around the bands.Read more
