After breakfast we will visit the Pyramids of Teotihuacan, situated about 65 km to the north of Mexico City and once was the biggest city in the Americas. The original name of this huge city is unknown. Teotihuacan is the name the Aztecs gave to this city when they discovered it, but its original name remains a mystery, because when they found the city it had already been abandoned by its founders. The Aztecs thought it wasn't possible for humans to have built such grand structures, so they called it "the city of gods". Climbing the pyramids you will have an incredible view of this incredible site which influenced both Rivera and Kahlo's work.
