Description

We will take you to know the most powerful empire in Mesoamerica from the 400s AD. We will tell you everything about this civilization, from when it began, who inhabited this place, what inspired them to build the pyramids, how long it took, who their gods were, their craft workshops, their food, their tools, how they became so powerful, the discoveries found beneath the pyramids, the theories of why this empire collapsed and the discoveries of the Aztecs. We will visit the pyramid of the sun, the pyramid of the moon, the pyramid of the feathered serpent, the palace of Quetzalpapalotl, the site museum designed by Pedro Ramírez Vázquez, the same architect who designed the museum of Anthropology and history to learn more about the Teotihuacan culture or the museum of murals by Beatriz de la Fuente. You will stay like us, wanting to know more and more about this great civilisation. **All our experiences are subject to change without prior notice due to circumstances beyond our control
