Understand

Teotihuacn, an ancient city in the Americas, once thrived with a bustling population of 150,000. It was the heart of a larger civilization that stretched across Mesoamerica. Dating back to 300 BC, the city's construction began with the majestic Pyramid of the Sun, which stood tall by 150 BC and lasted until 450 AD. To preserve its precious artifacts, many items from Teotihuacn now reside in the National Anthropological Museum in Mexico City. Situated at an impressive elevation of 2,300m/7482f, Teotihuacn offers a glimpse into ancient Mesoamerican culture.
