HISTORY
Not far from the main city, you can find the pyramids of the sun and the moon in Teotihuacan (45 minutes driving from downtown).
The pyramid at Cuicuilco in the south of the city is a curious circular construction half hidden by the lava the Xitle volcano spewed forth more than three thousand years ago.
All the history of our beautiful city can be experienced at the Museum of Anthropology, near the city center.
