Teotihuacan

Day 2:

Our second day in Mexico City we drove to Teotihuacan to visit some ancient pyramids.







We climbed the Pyramid of the Sun, which is the third largest pyramid in the world.

It got very tiring...

...but we finally made it to the top!



This is our whole group on the top of the pyramid of the sun.

We then walked across the ancient city of Teotihuacan and climbed to the top of the pyramid of the moon, which is smaller than the pyramid of the sun. Notice the platforms in front of the Pyramid which were used for sacraficial ceremonies.


We walked around the rest of the city and explored, climbed, warded off vendors and experienced "The Place Where Men Become Gods" (that is what Teotihuacan means).
