The great Pyramids of Teotihuacan rise just 25 miles outside of modern-day Mexico City. In the shadow of the dusty sierras, they crash above the towns and villages in a mighty show of Mesoamerican architecture. They have a history that goes back more than 2,000 years and are considered to be some of the most impressive relics of any kind in North America.
To put it simply, visiting these is a must for any history buff in CDMX! This guide runs through the story of the site – now marked with a UNESCO World Heritage tag – and details everything you need to know about planning your day…
The sprawling archaeological site at Teotihuacan sits a little over 14 miles away from the border between the State of Mexico and Hidalgo. It’s also just 25 miles to the northwest of downtown Mexico City itself.
