How significant are the Teotihuacan pyramids historically?

Teotihuacan was once one of the largest cities in the ancient world, flourishing from 100-650 CE. The site predates the Aztec Empire and was already in ruins when the Aztecs discovered it. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site representing one of Mesoamerica's most important civilizations.

What should I know about visiting the Teotihuacan pyramids?

Teotihuacan features two main pyramids: the Pyramid of the Sun (one of the largest in the world) and the Pyramid of the Moon. The site also includes the Avenue of the Dead and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl. Note that climbing the pyramids is no longer permitted to preserve these ancient structures.

What is the best time to visit Teotihuacan from Mexico City?

Can I take a hot air balloon ride over the pyramids?

Yes, hot air balloon rides over Teotihuacan are a popular activity, typically departing at sunrise. These flights offer spectacular aerial views of the pyramids and the surrounding Valley of Mexico. Many tours combine the balloon ride with ground exploration of the ruins.

What should I bring when visiting Teotihuacan?

Bring sunscreen, a hat, comfortable walking shoes, and plenty of water, as there's limited shade at the site. Cash is useful for entrance fees, souvenirs, and refreshments. A camera is essential for capturing these magnificent ancient structures.

What other attractions are near Teotihuacan?

The area includes several museums with artifacts from the site, local artisan workshops where you can see traditional crafts being made, and shops selling obsidian items (volcanic glass that was important to the ancient inhabitants). The nearby town of San Juan Teotihuacan offers authentic Mexican culture.
