Teotihuacán aka: Teotihuacan

21 and 22 of march i NEED to go!!! rockarga yeah

its wonderful…so breathtaking!
I walked up to the top of the sun pyramid… it was exhausting but well worth it….I walked up to the pyramid of the moon and walked down the avenue of the dead.

My cousin was with me and walked around in heels!!! I dont kno how her toes didnt fall off..lmao!!

Wow.. Just wow.. An amazing place.. Don’t go if you’re afraid of heights or falling down a giant flight of stairs with no rail. Ask around to see where you can drink pulque.

I got to visit teotihuacan back in 2004 during the peace & dignity journeys. I think we spent two or three days there with special permission. Just being there one could feel intense energy. On my way to the restroom one night, I noticed the moonlight intensely shining down on the piramide de la luna. It was breathtaking. I plan to visit again this month!

The sheer scale of this place is awesome, the bus ride out from Mexico City passes through some interesting suburbs, and once you get there you can have lunch at an underrated little snack bar that offers very cold beer and good sincronizadas (ham n’ cheese quesadillas).

Oh, yeah, and there are also some large groups of new-age hippie types in white robes apparently worshipping ancient Aztec deities. Didn’t observe any human sacrifices, however.

Those pyramids are harder to climb than they look, by the way—not for the fearful of heights.

Man, this place is breath taking! it truly is a wonder to see. I went all the way up to one of the pyramids, I think it was the moon one, and the view from up there was: wow. And to think that people like us, without technollogy or any of the tools we now have built this. There is also a really cool museum explaining how everything was built.

This is a very romantic place to “pop the question!”

An Aztec god told me secrets.

My daughter and I are quite blonde. When we visited this amazing site (off season) there also were dozens of school groups visiting.

I started feeling like I’d done something funny to my hair because so many people were pointing and staring at me (from various groups around the site). Then I noticed that the same attention was also being directed to my daughter.

Both of us were the object of the attention of nearly every child within sight (which was a large number of people due to the open layout of this site…and the fact that this started happening as we were walking up the Pyramid of the Moon so we were quite visible). The children were waving and calling ‘Alo’ to us and talking and pointing us out to their friends. I really didn’t know what to make of it and started to try to ignore it. It was quite difficult because, as I said, there were many school groups there and as soon as a new one saw us it would start again. At first my daughter and I laughed nervously and then we just started ignoring it. The pyramids were too amazing to put too much thought into it.

A litte while later (after about 1/2 hour of walking around feeling like a movie star), a man who was selling souvenirs (and he spoke excellent English) explained to me that everyone was staring at us because these children had never seen blonde people before. Never had and probably never would again.

My daughter and I were more interesting to these children than the pyramids that grace their horizon on a daily basis! Because of our hair colour.

I will never forget the experience. I guess I got my ‘15 minutes of fame’ that day for sure!

PS If you go then make sure you eat in the grotto that is just outside. Amazing location and pretty good food! Reasonable prices.

enjoy the history, save your money for mexico city. all the trinkets being sold here can be purchased for much cheaper in the city center
