We went to Teotihuacan a few months ago on a day tour from Mexico City, and it was well worth the trip. Teotihuacan is an absolutely gigantic complex, so be prepared for lots of walking (mostly on gravel). The Moon and Sun Pyramids offer a great view of the area, and a photo opportunity of the Avenue of the Dead.... more

As first time visitors to Mexico City we were told not to miss the Pyramids at Teotihuacan. Not too far from Mexico City it is well worth the trip. Out of nowhere are several large pyramids where you can climb to the top to get a good sense of the magnitude of the structures. We had the good fortune to... more

I got to Teotihuacan after having ridden the bus 4 hours after I didn't get off at the right place. This is truly an amazing place.The third largest pyramid is here.Man is it immense. You can't help wonder about the people who built this place. I climbed the Pyramid of the Moon. You can see all around from these pyramids.The... more

Teotihuacan is a definite must-see close to Mexico City! It consists of an extremely large (but characterless) 'city' area punctuated by two large pyramids, which are really the main attraction. The larger pyramid is climbable all the way to the top, for people of all ages (toddlers to senior citizens). The climb is fairly (but not extremely) strenuous, and stairs... more

Awe-inspiring is the only way to describe Teotihuacan. My family and I visited the place recently and it truly makes you think about the type of civilization that produced such an enormous and majestic place. What makes it even more fun for the traveler is that because nothing definitive has yet been established about the civilization that built this area... more

I made the horrible decision to drive in Mexico City. I have driven all over the world, and NEVER have been so frustrated with ANY city. Focusing on Teotihuacan; When driving North from Mexico City stay on what may appear a main road, I know it'll be hard, but don't be fooled by the splits on the road. Follow signs... more

I've been to Teotihuacán 3 times now. In my opinion, it is one of the wonders of the world...once the largest metropolis of ancient America. One of the things that I absolutely love about Mexico, is that you are allowed to get up close to historical treasures like this; you can climb both pyramids and explore most of the ruins.... more

My wife had never been outside the USA so I booked a short trip to Mexico City and tour or the pyramids at Teotihuacan for her. When we got to the pyramids, she was literally speechless for about 30 minutes!! The sight is awe inspiring. There are two main pyramids (sun and moon) and an "avenue of the dead" which... more

I decided to do it on my own with a little help from hotel staff and my travel book. The travel book was most helpful. I got on the Metro and found my way to the Autobuses Del Norte - you can find a metro map here: [--] - this cost me $2 pesos (but buy a few tickets cause... more

Oct. 7 2006 I booked my tour through HoStel Catedral. I find it the cheapest and it is organized by Mundo Joven, a large youth travel agency. (Doesn’t mean you have to stay at the hostel or be a youth to book the tour :) The tour is 8 hours with almost 3 full hours at the pyramids; costs 260pesos... more
