Teotihuaca\u0301n was Mexico\u2019s biggest ancient city and the capital of what was probably Mexico\u2019s largest pre-Hispanic empire. It was a major hub of migration for people from the south, with multi-ethnic groups segregated into neighborhoods. Studies involving DNA tests in 2015 theorize that it was these cultural and class tensions that led to Teo\u2019s downfall.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

One hour north of Mexico City (by bus) this complex of awesome pyramids, set amid what was once Mesoamerica\u2019s greatest city, is among the region\u2019s most visited destinations. The sprawling site compares to the ruins of the Yucata\u0301n and Chiapas for significance and anyone lucky enough to come here will be inspired by the astonishing technological might of the Teotihuaca\u0301n (teh-oh-tee-wah-kahn) civilization.<\/p>\n

Set 50km northeast of Mexico City, in a mountain-ringed offshoot of the Valle de Me\u0301xico, Teotihuaca\u0301n is known for its two massive pyramids, the Pira\u0301mide del Sol (Pyramid of the Sun) and the Pira\u0301mide de la Luna (Pyramid of the Moon), which dominate the remains of the metropolis.<\/p>\n

Though ancient Teotihuaca\u0301n covered more than 20 sq km, most of what can be seen today lies along nearly 2km of the Calzada de los Muertos. Buses arrive at a traffic circle by the southwest entrance (gate 1), while four other entrances are reached by the ring road around the site.<\/p>\n
