Teotihuacán & Mexico City at night

Although we already visited two archeological sites here in Mexico we were eager to visit the well known Archeological zone of Teotihuacán! The site is located about 1 hour from Mexico City and can be easily done as a half a day trip (if you start early). There are plenty of tour but the cheapest way is to take the public bus departing from bus terminal north every 20 minutes. Ticket costs 68 pesos (3€) one way and the bus stops in front of gate 2 & gate 3.

After exiting in Gate 2 we payed the entrance of 100 pesos (super cheap compared to Chichen Itza 680) and walked towards Pyramid of Sun ☀️. Teotihuacan was built between 250-600 and is one of the oldest archeological sites in Mexico. It was actually a large town where up to 200 thousands people lived. Pyramid of the Sun is the third biggest pyramid in the world after the Cheops Pyramid in Egypt and Pyramid in Cholula where the famous yellow church is located on the top!

In the past it was possible to climb the famous pyramids but after Covid it was band in order to protect the monuments. The pyramid of the Sun and Pyramid of the moon are connected via Street of Death ~ in the past scientists thought that the buildings along the road were burial sites but nowadays we know that the buildings were ancient houses! What I loved about Teotihuacan was that it’s not as commercialized as the previous sites we visited in Yucatán and as the area is large people spread quite well! ☺️

After the arrival back to Mexico City I felt unfortunately not good again and had to skip lunch and afternoon sightseeing and sleep a bit. Flo went for a walk with David and Gabi and I joined them later for night bus ride through the most iconic streets of Mexico City! We said goodbye to each other in local pub and went to bed.Read more
