- Calzada de los Muertos - The vast Calzada de los Muertos—The Avenue of the Dead—will immediately capture attention. This impressive, 3-kilometer-long ceremonial road was the main artery of the ancient city, leading travelers, priests, and rulers through its grand structures.
From this viewpoint, enjoy a stunning first look at the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon, standing as silent sentinels of a civilization that flourished over 1,500 years ago.

Beneath it, archaeologists discovered ritual burials of warriors, highlighting the city’s link between power and sacrifice. As the exploration continues, the hidden meanings and the temple’s role in Teotihuacán’s spiritual life will be revealed.
- Edificios superpuestos - Enter an active excavation site to explore the intriguing concept of overlapping structures in Teotihuacán. Unlike other ancient cities, temples and buildings here were not demolished but built over in successive layers, preserving earlier phases beneath them.
As the descent continues, original murals, staircases, and chambers hidden for centuries will be visible, offering a rare insight into the city’s architectural evolution and ritual practices.
- Piramide del Sol - Standing at 65 meters (213 feet) tall, the Pyramid of the Sun is the largest structure in Teotihuacán and one of the most impressive pyramids in Mesoamerica. Constructed over 1,900 years ago, its exact purpose remains unknown, though it’s believed to have been a sacred monument aligned with celestial events.
From its base, explore its imposing architecture and hidden tunnels, discussing the rituals and astronomical significance that made it the heart of this ancient metropolis.
- Piramide de la Luna - The journey through Teotihuacán concludes at the Pyramid of the Moon, the second-largest structure in the city.
