Teotihuacán is a Náhuatl term meaning, “The place where men become gods.” It is the name given to an ancient city situated about 50 km north-east of Mexico City. It is one hour from the captial by car or bus. It is believed that this city was the first metropolis built in Mesoamerica. People lived in this city between 200 BC until 600 AD, when the city was mysteriously abandoned.
Nowadays, people are still allowed to climb up to the top of the main structures, to enjoy the view. The Pirámide del Sol, literally – Pyramid of the Sun – is the 3rd largest pyramid in the world.
