[2025 San Juan Teotihuacan Attraction] Travel Guide for Teotihuacan Mexico (Updated Jul)

A few facts about this sprawling ancient city. It was built between the 1st and 7th centuries CE and up to 200,000 people will have lived here and called this place home! The pyramid of the sun is the third largest ancient pyramid in the world, with only the pyramid of Giza in Egypt and the pyramid of Cholula, located 90km away from this site, reaching a higher altitude. This pyramid was named by the Aztecs, even though it was constructed long before they arrived at this site. One thing that stood out to me were the vivid murals and frescoes depicting jaguars and other animals on display. There’s uncertainty as to the meaning of these murals, though they’re thought to be depicting images of war and of conquest. Amongst the other many smaller pyramids and temples on show in this vast metropolis, the other showstopper is the pyramid of the moon. Separated from the pyramid of the sun by the central Avenue of the dead, this pyramid predates the larger pyramid of the sun by a few hundred years. Whilst visiting this breathtaking historical wonder, make sure you stop to take in the the breadth and depth of this site. It truly is impossible to see everything in one trip here. Our final stop in Teotihuacan is the Palacio Quetzalpapalotl. Thought to be the home of a dignitary or a priest, these palacial ruins are home to more impressive frescoes and murals, including the templo de los caracoles emplumados. #teotihuacan #mexico #mexicocity #Cdm #cdmx #travel #vacation

This monument is located 40 kilometers northwest of Mexico City. Because it is located on a plateau, even in summer it is only 12 degrees Celsius at night, but if the weather is very good, the UV rays are very strong during the day, and the daytime temperature is about 32 degrees. But a warm reminder to all, please do enough sun protection measures and wear a hat, I did not wear a hat caused after a whole day of sun, the top of the head peeling. The scope of this monument is very large, it takes at least seven hours to tour, and to climb to the top of the pyramid, there is no elevator, no sedan, all have to climb up on your own feet. Please allow enough physical strength, as the stairs are steeper Compared with the Egyptian pyramids I have been to, this is not a desert, and the security here is much better than the Egyptian pyramids, at least there are not so many vendors entangled with tourists. Worth a question, the larger Sun Pyramid is the third largest pyramid in the world The Pyramid of the Moon is located about 46 meters high at the northern end of the Plaza of the Moon. The Pyramid of the Moon faces south and forms a central axis with the Tower of the Sun this time, symbolizing the harmony of heaven and earth As for the height of the Sun Pyramid is 66 meters, the Sun Pyramid was built to worship the sun god, is the greatest building in the Indian world, this time the base of the tower is 225 meters long and 222 meters wide, roughly square.

Teotihuacan is one of Mexico's most famous ancient sites, featuring an awe-inspiring pyramid complex. I climbed the Pyramid of the Sun and gazed over the entire site, feeling the mysterious power of ancient civilizations. The site also includes the Pyramid of the Moon and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent, adorned with exquisite carvings on the walls. Once the largest city in the Americas, Teotihuacan showcases advanced architectural and astronomical knowledge. During the visit, the guide provided detailed explanations of the historical background, deepening my understanding of ancient Mexican culture. This was truly a cultural journey through time.
