About twenty five miles north of Mexico City sits a mystical and ancient landmark renowned by archeologists, tourists, and locals alike. The ruins of Teotihuacán were once the largest city in the new world with populations varying between 100,000 and 200,000 at the peak of its splendor in the first century AD. Covering approximately 51 square miles, it has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the most visited archeological site in Mexico. The reason for all these visitors is the spectacular architecture, the colorful murals, and the magnificent sculptures that cover the landscape. Unlike many other such sites in Mexico and South America, Teotihuacán was never “discovered”, rather the location and its majesty have been well known and traveled since their original construction beginning around 200 BC.
