Dive into ancient Mexico's rich tapestry of history and myth

Start an memorable journey through Teotihuacán, Tlatelolco, and the Basilica of Guadalupe. Explore towering pyramids, lost civilizations, and soak in the atmosphere of one of Mesoamerica’s most legendary sites. Walk where the Aztecs once treaded, uncover hidden stories, and explore a world steeped in history.

Getting started

  • Scan your ticket to bypass queues and gain entry into Teotihuacán's archaeological zone. Enjoy exploring at leisure without any rush—after all, this city has stood for nearly 2,000 years.

Avenue of the Dead

  • The central artery of Teotihuacán where ancient ceremonies and daily life once thrived. As you walk along this grand boulevard, discover plazas, temples, and housing complexes that showcase a civilization's precise planning.

Pyramid of the Sun

  • This massive pyramid stands 200+ feet tall as a testament to ancient ambition. While climbing is not permitted at present, standing at its base still evokes awe.

Pyramid of the Moon

  • Crowning Teotihuacán’s ceremonial landscape, this pyramid offers an impressive view from its first tier (47 steps) after five years of closure. The upper levels remain protected but even a partial ascent is stunning.

Temple of Quetzalcoatl (Feathered Serpent Pyramid)

  • This temple showcases intricate carvings and sacred symbolism, revealing insights into Teotihuacán’s mysteries through its detailed serpent motifs.

Palace of Quetzalpapálotl

  • Discover the preserved elegance of this noble residence with murals and designs inspired by butterflies. The contrast between its intimate beauty and surrounding massive pyramids is surreal.
