Teotihuacán

Absolutely amazing! This is a mandatory visit when in the area. Be prepared for a lot of walking, and climbing. This is free for Mexicans, but they charge anyone else. Woulda been nice to know that before we got to the entrance. If you’re not Mexican, be sure to buy tickets at the main gate when you pay for parking. It’ll save you the long walk back from the second entrance. This place is beautiful, and felt really authentic, like nothing has been overly restored by modern people. There’s still a lot of mystery behind these pyramids as I discovered when the tour guide mentioned that their history was all theories that change every year nearly. Climbing a pyramid, excellent thing to cross off your bucket list.

A nice day trip while visiting Mexico City. I drove a car and driving or taking a taxi is a better way to go than the tour bus. It gives you the option to stay as long as you like and leave when you want. Once you are outside the city on the highway, the directions are easy. First of all, be prepared. It’s a LOT of walking and climbing and the site is at 7,500 feet. If you can, wait until you are in the city a couple of days before going to the site to give your body a little time to adjust. You will get out of breath just walking to the base of the pyramid. Sunscreen and water are a must, and don’t do what I did and arrive with a hangover! It WAS a good idea to arrive early before the day got too hot. There are two main pyramids. Unless you are there for the challenge, only climbing one is ok: there is nothing extra to be seen from climbing both. Really, show up very early, visit the museum, climb a main pyramid and walk around a bit, buy a trinket souvenir or two and get out. It’s not all that great compared to Chichen Itza, and really only worth half a day. The site is so spread out and there isn’t that much to see. It’s something you should definitely do when you are in MC, but there are too many other museums and cultural activities to spend an entire day here.

Very amazing place! This hosts the tallest pyramid in all of Mexico!
I recommend that you eat well and use the bathroom before going. You do not want to use the portable toilets ! They are down right trifling! No toilet paper either so bring those wipes!
There are two pyramids.
1. Sun Pyramid
2. Moon Pyramid
…the lane I’m walking down in between the pyramids is called the «Street of the Dead». Here you will find at least 30 different Mexican vendors trying to sell you everything from jewelry to blankets. A common phrase is «Almost Free!»…hahaha

This was an amazing experience. Sitting on top of the moon pyramid and looking down is an amazing feeling. We didn’t do the tour, the subway to north station was pretty easy and the bus takes you to the pyramids. When your done just cross the street and wait for the bus that goes back to Mexico City. The only negative part is that when your trying to enjoy the pyramids there are street vendors trying to sell you things and they will not take no for an answer. Other than that it was a great experience

It is an humbling experience to visit the remnants of this ancient civilisation of which very get things are known. An active archaeological site, there are more artifacts being discovered here.
Climbing the smaller pyramids are very easy. The temple of the moon cab be climbed in under 5 minutes. The larger temple of the sun can be climbed in under 15 minutes. The views of the valley of Mexico, the surrounding hills, the valley of the dead and other pyramids are stunning.
I took the Turibus from Reforma and it was decent, in spite of the ‘organized tour nature of it’.

This is an amazing location and a must see in Mexico. The museum is very nice the climb up the pyramids is Steve and not necessarily easy but well worth it. Bring some water and a small snack like an apple with you for the trip. Wear comfortable walking shoes.

Teotihuacan was the largest city in the pre-​Columbian Americas and the pyramids are one of the most architecturally significant, earning the site UNESCO Heritage Status in the 1980s. I recommend going to the National Museum of Anthropology first to learn some of the history and background so you can truly appreciate it.
Bring sunscreen, a hat, water and some snacks. There are 2 pyramids, the sun and the moon. Depending on your stamina and how fearful of heights you are, it is usually a 30 min climb up the pyramid of the sun. The steps are very narrow and steep so do not rush and go slowly; slow and steady will win the race. I have a terrible fear of heights but yet I’ve climbed this pyramid every single time I visit. It is truly an amazing piece of history and worth the trek up.
Once you reach the top, you will see a circle; supposedly this is where the sun’s energy is the strongest so many people will stand there to absorb this «cosmic energy». I’m sorry to say I never felt anything special standing there but the view from the top is outstanding.
Note: the only toilets are by the parking lot, there are no toilets once you enter so go ahead of time.

A must see… Been there a few times and I love it. Take an umbrella and water!!! Parking is cheap and restaurants around are pretty good. Take sandwiches and a cooler nin ur car if you don’t want to spend a lot of money… Views are amazing!!!

I am not in shape. Train for this. It’s not easy if you are not fit. I was dying. Every inhale burned. I blame the smog, somewhat. I saw this couple in flip flops climb in no problemo and felt bad, then I saw a man on crutches, and he was moving faster than them, then I felt horrible. Nonetheless it was worth it. The whole place is huge so remember: comfortable shoes, water, sunscreen, take your time and don’t give up. I was able to do it, you have no excuse.
We took the metro to a bus station and took the bus there.

Muy buen lugar para conocer sobre nuestros antepasados como era su arquitectura gastronomía y cultura en el lugar se encuentran las pirámides del sol y la luna que son altas y hermosas existe una buena organización dentro del lugar adema de vendedores que tienen diversos productos como recuerdos.
La comida a los alrededores es buena y amplia ya que cuenta con diversos tipos de restaurantes y centros de entretenimiento uno de los centros de atracción son los globos aerostáticos y un safari además de la zona arqueológica del lugar así que si lo tuyo es la aventura te recomiendo ampliamente visitar el lugar y vivir una grande y divertida experiencia con tus amigos y seres queridos.

Una de las siete maravillas del mundo moderno, realmente no hay mucho que agregar.
Tip: la pirámide del sol es mucho mas grande pero los escalones altos de la pirámide de la luna son más difíciles de subir, mas vale hacerlo despacio y en zig zag.

Great place to see. So much history. We toured everything ourselves. No guide Took about three hours to see everything. We went on a Friday around 12−1pm. There were a bunch of schools touring around this time. And I would suggest sunscreen because I got really sunburnt even though it was cloudy. Also, go to mayahuel for lunch out of puerta#4 from the pyramids.

A must see when in Mexico City.
We purchased a tour that took us from Mexico City to Teotihuacan super bright and early in the morning. Wait, it was very dark that morning at 6:30am as we waited for the shuttle. How funny that 90% of tourists in our shuttle were all from California (mostly the Bay!).
I highly recommend getting a tour. You get to hear about the history of the pyramids, go Mezcal tasting, and get little tips like, «Don’t purchase anything from the vendors, they’re overpriced.» Our tour guide Sandy is so fun and super knowledgeable. Her English was very good, and even when she didn’t know how to properly translate, there were other people in our group who were able to translate for her.
I am suuuuuper afraid of heights, but swallowed my fear and climbed the Pyramid of the Sun. There is a rope in the middle of the pyramid that you can hold onto while going up. The climb was a lot shorter than I thought, which was great! A lot of kids run up the pyramid and even the elderly climbed it, so it’s suitable for all ages. Sandy said the Pyramid of the Moon has the best view of Teotihuacan, but it was much steeper than the Pyramid of the Sun, so I could not get myself to climb that one due to my shaky knee syndrome aka being a scaredy cat. It’s okay though, because Sandy also told me that a lady was running down that pyramid, ended up tripping and falling, and having an ambulance come. I did not want to be that lady.
The mezcal is so yummy! And they let you have as much as you want, obviously tricking you into getting intoxicated and buying everything in the gift shop! The gift shop is really cute as well. There are samples of salsa out and they’re so good but very spicy! SIDE NOTE: I got some small mezcal bottles as souvenirs and they were thrown away by TSA at the airport in Mexico. Even though they are travel size, I would recommend putting them in your check in and not carry on.
It takes a couple of hours to see everything here so make sure to bring some sunscreen, snacks and water! Don’t wear sandals because you will be walking a lot and perhaps climbing the pyramids. Plus, the ants here are probably triple the size of the ants in America, so I would recommend not letting them hitch a ride on your toesies!

The pyramids are nice but make sure you walk in the park too. It is unbelievably quiet and peaceful and the trees and cacti are so pretty. I didn’t get a chance to visit the museum but I heard it provides useful information.
Note that if you take the autobus from Norte you arrive in port 1 but leave in port 2. Also, when you purchase tickets from Norte make sure the lady gives you change. She keeps your extra money if you don’t ask.

Definitely worth the drive. I’d highly recommend a tour with driver, or at least bring a lot of material to read because there’s a lot of information on the history of this place that is worth knowing but not obvious out there.
It’s well spread out so one can easily make a day out of it. There’s temples on both sides but if you were hurt on time star at the side with the pyramid of the moon and exit out that way. The pyramid of the sun is most impressive and requires a bit of strength to make it to the top. Be sure to out-​stretch your arms at the top to channel the energy of the sun, or at least that’s what the people used to do.
The palacio is well preserved and it’s amazing to see how structures were really build one on top of another. The paint is vibrant in color, one could only imagine the way it used to look.
Plenty of vendors on both corridors of entrances and it’s worth the effort of bargaining. Most of those things can be found in the city as well or the nearby surrounding towns. The vendors selling the jaguar roar were the funniest. It only works well when you put a lot of effort into it.
Definitely an ancient sight that’s well preserved and accessible. Worth the drive. Bring plenty of sunscreen, an umbrella for shade and some cold water

This place was so awesome. Just the view of the pyramids, and the architecture that it took was amazing. About 60 miles roughly from Puebla.
We climbed the first two pyroamid, and were able to capture awesome photos of the the pyramids, and the landscape.
After our climbs we headed to the museum where the had a plethora of artifacts, which was awesome to see.
Be prepared for allot of walking and climbing. Bring some good comfortable shoes.

In the words of Gob Bluth: «I made a huge mistake»
Not sure if it was a good or bad choice to come here with my friend who is an avid climber. It was awesome because he kept pushing me to climb faster and climb as many pyramids as possible. It was terrible because I was so out of breath it was embarrassing
Don’t get me wrong, I loved everything the pyramids had to offer… history, beautiful sights once you reached the top and a good workout. But I was still kinda regretting coming here with such an athletic human.
Basically, there are two main pyramids here, and a bunch of little ones surrounding them.
Normally people only climb one of the two pyramids, but my companion pushed me to climb both the Piramide de la Luna and Piramide del Sol AND two little pyramids next to the Piramide de la Luna.
I was DRAINED after we reached the third one, but I’m glad we did them. Keep in mind that I work out fairly regularly and I run almost every day. So trust me when I say, it was exhausting.
After the climbing extravaganza we decided to check out the museum that was in the area. The museum is unlike any other, it’s a pretty cool experience to walk around the ruins and get to see and touch almost anything in your surroundings.
If you want, and have the money for it, you can get a private tour guide that will accompany you throughout the entire walk (for $ 400 pesos, roughly around $ 29 dlls) We decided not to get one since we both had google in our hands with our smart phones.
Long story short, it’s definitively worth the trip. Plan to spend about 4 hrs in here, bring a hat to protect you from the sun and bring lots and lots of water.

Highly recommend a visit to this site! Make sure you wear comfortable and non slip shoes since the walk up and down the pyramid could get a little steep. With that said, my parents who are 60+ made it to the top without any breaks, so it should be nbd for most.
Just one caution, goes for rest of mx I guess, but check and double check your change! The guy at the entrance did some fuzzy math and the total came out to 50 pesos more than it should have been.

Keep this in mind as you walk the 130-​foot wide and 1.5-mile long Calzada de los Muertos (Road of the Dead) toward the pyramids: everything around you on the site has been mapped and studied but only about five percent has been scientifically excavated. A roving robot has recently been exploring underground tunnels near the pyramids to assist in exciting discoveries.
There is certainly more buried outside the site’s boundaries, too, for future generations to explore if land is protected. Vigilance is crucial. In 2012, Wal-​Mart received world-​wide condemnation for bribing its way to a large piece of property near the ruins zoned only for residential and a wealth of history beneath the ground was destroyed during the store construction process.
Even though I have visited the ruins of Teotihuacán before, to be the only person here at dawn climbing 250 steps to the top of the Pirámide del Sol as the sun rises is an exhaustingly exhilarating experience that sears into my memory.
I stood in the Palacio del Quetzalpapálotl as the sun’s rays peered into the large, columned room and began to illuminate the remaining fragments of bright red frescoes. Imagine the brilliant colors that once adorned these walls and the stone surfaces outside.
The best vantage point to survey the long Road of the Dead and the sheer size of Teotihuacán itself is from the Pirámide de la Luna, the pyramid that sits at the road’s end. It was still early morning so the road was empty save for the few souvenir sellers preparing for the day. However, by the afternoon, this road would be filled with thousands of tourists and this site would again look like a true city.

Bonito lugar para ir, hay que llevar ropa manga larga para protegerse del sol y un impermeable porque al rato llueve, subir a la pirámide del sol y de la luna lleva su tiempo para apreciar el paisaje e ir tomando fotos, encuentras muchas ventas de artesanos. Al rededor hay restaurantes donde se puede comer muy bien pero el plato recomendado son los tacos de barbacoa.

Teotihuacan is about an hour from Mexico City.
I’m going to get into a lot because navigating Teotihuacan can be an extremely confusing experience.
Teotihuacan is a full-​fledged experience, even though for Mexico City visitors, it only takes half a day. You can get a bus to Teotihuacan, and even the American state of Georgia, across from Metro Autobuses del Norte station in a huge bus station. They seemed to run about every hour, good for the drive which also takes about an hour.
After the bus nears arrival, while you’re waiting at Pantitlan station with all the stores and such, you go through a search. It’s like the TSA, but at least without the trouble and lines. Then they sit you on a bus. They also take your photo with a webcam for security, so don’t be alarmed.
They have people selling things on the bus, just like on the subway. Nothings wrong with that, after all a product is provided and someone makes a living. The bus goes throughout Mexico City — sometimes picking up all kinds of people like musicians. The bus drives through lots of highway and all kinds of beautiful towns till it reaches Teotihuacan.
When you get there, you do not think you are seeing ruins. It feels like you’re in the middle of the desert because the pyramids are perched up in a very specific way. And watch out for people selling tours or making you think they’re park rangers or something.
Follow the signs and then you’ll get to a short building with a gift shop– walk through it — then you’ll see an Aztec statue. After that, you’ll see an open field with lots of smaller pyramids. Walk around and explore but only one is the big famous pyramid. You’ll have to walk through lots of ruins and big hills. It’s a lot of fun because they pretty much let you walk right on the ashes of Teotihuacan. You’ll go through huge hills and see all kinds of plants, merchants, history and so on.
Except for the big pyramid, most of the walk you’ll only see other people every few minutes because of the vast space of the field. The way to the big pyramid should take a good twenty minutes. At least, they let you walk through it all, nearly every ash of the former civilization, unlike the National Park Service in the United States. Then once you reach the Big Pyramid, it’s about twenty minutes to the top.
Take your time because you won’t climb it in five minutes unless you won a marathon. There’s lots of stairs, by lots I mean thousands. Once you reach the top, you’ll see Teotihuacan for all it’s glory. You’ll see the pyramids and so on. You’ll understand the inner workings of Mexico and how it came to be as well as the ease for which it was invaded.
The way you return is just to find the opposing lot to catch the bus back. It can be confusing being a traveler, but it’s next to a few food stands — kind of in a parking lot. It’s on the other side of Teotihuacan as where you entered, closer to the big pyramid but not too close, about ten minutes. Show your pass and then it’s back to Mexico City. Sometimes, they’ll show different small towns and you’ll be experienced with more.
Teotihuacan is something you won’t forget unless you were to immerse yourself in the Egyptian Pyramids. If only Teotihuacan had more allure of being thousands more years old. But for Americans, it’s closer, perhaps more commonly an affordable venture and that’s what counts.
Teotihuacan is a blessing for humanity.

It doesn’t get any better then seeing, climbing actual pyramids! The place is beyond cool! Standing in front then to stand on top of either the sun or moon pyramid is something you have to experience! You can’t really imagine or be told how cool it is!
I strongly suggest going to the feathered serpents pyramid first! Cause it has a lot more detail and cooler statues on it. And it’s quick! Theirs tons of on foot vendors that will try to sell you cool stuff! So don’t feel like you have to buy stuff right away!

This is the one thing you must do before leaving Mexico City. It’s a bit of a drive from the City (about 45 minutes — 1 hour), but worth it. Plan on this taking up a full day. By the time you walk through and up the pyramids, tour the museum, do your shopping, and drive back, you won’t have much time for anything else.
Speaking of shopping, do it either before you enter or once you exit the pyramids or at the little conglomerate of shops once you’re in there. The individual vendors roaming around are tourist traps.
While you’re out here, I suggest you try pulque (fermented cactus juice) from some of the vendors on the side of the road. And I HIGHLY RECOMMEND eating at La Gruta nearby. It’s a restaurant in a cave. Where else are you going to find that?
Also, wear comfortable shoes and bring lots of sun screen. It gets hot and dusty out there.

Ein weiterer Ort voller Geschichte … der … «Teotihuacán»
Die Ruinenstadt mit den mächtigen Pyramiden, etwa 50 Kilometer nordöstlich von Mexico City, war die beherrschende Kultur der «klassischen» Periode und der eigentliche Vorgänger des Aztekenreiches.
Dort wohnten ca. 300.000 Menschen, deren Einfluss sich über das ganze Land und weit nach Süden bis in das Gebiet der Maya auf der Halbinsel Yucatán, ja sogar bis nach Guatemala erstreckte.
Die Pyramiden sind so gigantisch, das man sie vor ihrer Freilegung für Berge hielt. Die wuchtige «Pirámide del Sol» — Sonnenpyramide — ist das alles überragende Wahrzeichen von Teotihuacán. Ihre Höhe von 70 Meter wurde, was die antiken Bauwerke Mexicos angeht, nur noch von «Cholula» übertroffen — und Cholula liegt in Trümmern.
Zweieinhalb Millionen Tonnen Steine wurden für ihre Errichtung bewegt, ohne Radwagen oder Lasttiere und ohne dass Metallwerkzeuge verwendet werden konnten — beides war den alten Kulturen Mexikos unbekannt.
Am Ende der «Strasse der Toten» erhebt sich die «Pirámide de la Luna» — Mondpyramide -. Sie ist kleiner und wurde etwas später, jedoch noch während der Periode von Teotihuacán I., erbaut und ist damit eine der ältesten des Landes. Da sie auf einer Anhöhe steht, liegt ihre Spitze fast auf gleicher Höhe mit der der Sonnenpyramide. Entlang der «Strasse der Toten» gibt es auch — ich nenne es Arkaden — wo sich durch Leinentücher, vor der Sonne geschützt viele sehr gut erhaltene Wandmalereien befinden.
Die Pyramiden sind begehbar. Allerdings ist es ratsam gut zu überlegen ob man fit genug für einen Aufstieg ist, denn die Stufen sind ca. wadenhoch, sehr schmal und natürlich abgenutzt. Nur an den Rändern befinden sich gut erhaltene Stufen. Dazu kommt die dünne Luft und je nach Tageszeit die Hitze, da kann der Aufstieg schon sehr anstrengend sein ! Verbunden mit einigen Pausen habe ich mir den Aufstieg nicht entgegen lassen. Die Belohnung ist ein fantastischer Rundblick über das gesamte Gelände und das Umland … :)
Auffällig auch, viele bewaffnete Beobachter stehen überall an den Bauten und das ist auch gut so, denn so manche Klapperschlange hat hier ihr Quartier gewählt.
Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert ! Ich war mit Freunden bzw Kollegen dort, die sich sehr gut auskannten. Wenn man an der Geschichte interessiert ist und vorher Informationen gelesen hat, dann ist der Teotihuacán ein Erlebnis !

Un viaje a Teotihuacán nunca sobra… Nunca dejo de ir cuando recibo visitantes de otros lugares. Voy hasta cuando no tengo nada que hacer los fines de semana. Pero el secreto está en ir durante la semana. A pesar de siempre haber gente de los tours y personas rodeando las ruinas, es mejor que ir durante los días libres como fines de semana o feriados ya que se llena demasiado y es difícil realmente apreciar las pirámides, o pararse sobre la del sol de recibir la energía.
Este es un lugar donde encuentras guías que te llevarán por todo el recorrido explicándote la historia que forma gran parte de nuestra nación, de forma detallada y entretenida. También encuentras personas que venden artesanías hechas de piedras y materiales naturales como telas e instrumentos. Y por fin, afuera saliendo por las puertas (son más de una) hay distintas tienditas para comprar cosillas, agua o refresco.
Después de un día de recorrido por las pirámides y con la energía recargada, uno puede también ir a comer a uno de los miles restaurantes con comida mexicana humilde, o bien acercarse a los puntos turísticos un poco más elaborados.

La morada de los dioses: Teotihuacan.
En la pirámide del sol ascendimos. La respiración comenzó a pedir mayor oxígeno. Las escalinatas son estrechas, nos sujetamos de la cuerda. Supongo que solo los sacerdotes se encontraban en la cima. Cerca del cielo. La interpretación era clara señal que el Sol hablaba.
Cuando existía un eclipse, empleaban otra clase de rituales. La vida de los aztecas era de trabajo, de intercambio, de fiesta y tradiciones. Existían las clases sociales. Cada persona representaba la gran organización. Los sacerdotes, las musas que escuchan a los dioses. Mientras abajo las personas cuidan la tierra, alimentan a los animales.
Visitar el lugar es obligado: Caminar por la Calzada de los muertos, El Templo de la Serpiente Emplumada, el misterio del hombre de jaguar.
Llega temprano, lleva sombreros o gorra por el sol que hace. También hay paseos en globo aerostático que puedes hacer reservación por internet.

Desde que estaba en la secundaria no iba a las pirámides. Hace poco fui con un amigo. Nos fuimos en camión y como eran vacaciones, nos hicieron descuento de estudiante. Los camiones salen cada 15 minutos en la Terminal del Norte.
Entre más temprano, mejor. Así te evitas tanta gente, tanto en el camión, como en la zona de Teotihuacán. Además de que te da tiempo perfecto de subir las dos pirámides, tomar aire y ver la impresionante panorámica.
Es mejor subir primero la del Sol, aunque es más alta, una vez arriba te das cuenta que la vista vale la pena. Si todavía te sientes con ganas, sube la de la Luna. Si al subir te sientes mal, hay policías arriba con una coca cola al rescate.
Al regreso, tuvimos que agarrar el camión afuera de la zona y sobre la carreterita, pues ya no entran a recoger personas. Al final, apenas gastamos 100 pesos entre los dos, porque estudiantes no pagan para entrar a Teotihuacán.

La habitación del sol y la luna.
Al llegar, los sonidos retumban poco a poco como escoltando tu llegada, todo está lleno de historia. Al pasar por varios locales podrás ver una variedad que te ofrecen, desde figuras, ropa, piedrería y sombreros, sobre todo muchos sombreros. Y es que una vez dentro de territorio ancestral no hay manera de cubrirse del sol que apabulla las cabezas y enrojece las pieles.
Hay que subir y bajar, para llegar a una gran pirámide, antes hay que dejar atrás varias más pequeñas, el calzado cómodo es infalible, no hay de otra, también la ropa holgada y llevar la dotación requerida por uno mismo de agua.
Una vez logrado todo esto, entonces puedes comenzar a subir, subir, subir y subir la pirámide del sol o la de la luna, o si nada te detiene, ¡las dos! La satisfacción de lograrlo recorrerá tus venas mientras vas de vuelta abajo.
Ahí podrás comprar varios recuerdos del lugar, están los ya clásicos dijes para colgar, hechos de piedritas transparentes de colores (esas las recuerdo desde que relizaba las excursiones en la primaria, ahora ya se ha modificado «los diseños»), o las piezas talladas en diversos materiales, solo que si te ofrecen uno, de preferencia hay que conocer un poco para que no te den «gato por liebre» como dice el dicho de los precavidos.
Los instrumentos de viento son geniales, puedes soplar desde la cabeza de un jaguar hecho de barro y sonarás como tal. Si lo haces, o simplemente das un apluso, el sonido se expanderá, ¿porqué?, el guía ya te lo explicará.
Es preferible acudir a la zona con sombrero por eso del sol y con agua desde casa, por eso de que los pequeños envases son más contaminantes y por que el harías un gran favor a tu bolsillo, a menos que estés dispuesto a pagar más de 20 pesos por una botella de medio litro de agua.

La mítica ciudad de Tula, afirma Miguel León Portilla, antropólogo e historiador, es en realidad Teotihuacán. Tula fue la ciudad donde Quetzalcoatl pisó tierra se hizo carne y enseñó a los hombres su culto, luego partió y prometió volver. Toda similitud con tierra santa es mera coincidencia. Hasta ahora los judíos también siguen esperando la vuelta de su Mesías. Los mexicas creyeron que había llegado montado en un caballo en la figura de Cortés. La cantidad de historias e información, lazos, paralelismos y referencias con otras tradiciones míticas y religiosas del mundo es una tarea que puedes darte apoyado de todas las herramientas de información con las que contamos ahora. Te hablaré de mi experiencia.
El lugar llama la atención por lo impresionante y elaborado de sus construcciones. La exactitud matemática de su disposición en el terreno y la simbología representada en las tallas efigies y trazos. Como elemento arquitectónico habla de una mentalidad y consciencia mítica que da testimonio de una etapa evolutiva particular del hombre americano.
Lo avanzado de su tecnología, los desagües, el trabajo con el sonido, las piedras y la cerámica son invaluables. Recientes descubrimientos esperan arrojar más información sobre el sitio más conocido y quizá más misterioso de las culturas precolombinas.
Párate, olvídate de la multitud y las distracciones para darte cuenta de la energía que mana y de la magnitud del proyecto que representa para hombres que no conocían los metales. ¿Sientes el misterio, la duda, el asombro, el silencio de una ciudad atestada pero perdida al mismo tiempo? Los lazos sagrados que la unían con la naturaleza se hallan rotos, el pacto de sangre disipado tras los siglos pero aún así se siente la magia. No dudo ni por un momento que algun dios decidiera poner su planta en esta tierra y hablar a los hombres, como Jesús, como Prometeo.
Hago más tiempo de casa al centro, que lo que podrías hacer de la terminal del Norte a Teotihuacán. La Ciudad de México la ha alcanzado y por su cercanía con ésta, dada su importancia como el centro ceremonial más importante de América, no existe la opción de evitar ir. De distintos puntos encuentras medios de llegar. Terminal norte, indios verdes son los más frecuentes y usuales para los visitantes. Prepárate para recorrer grandes distancias bajo un sol siempre incandecente en este punto de la Tierra. La experiencia será inolvidable y única independientemente de la disposición mental y espiritual que lleves contigo.
