Mayan and Aztec Tour
1B
Among the many famous sites in Mexico, the
ancient city of Teotihuacan is the most visited of Mexico’s
archaeological sites and a must-see if you’re in Mexico City. The site
is impressive for its scale, both in the size of the Pyramid of the Sun
(the third largest pyramid in the world) and the majesty of the Calle de
los Muertos (Street of the Dead) - originally 4km long and flanked by
temples, palaces and platforms.
