Day Trips in Mexico City

"Teotihuacán is one of the biggest archeological sites in Mexico, and it’s just an hour and a half away from the city. Arrive here really early to avoid crowds and stretch those legs if you’re going to try to reach the summit of the Sun Pyramid, the largest climbable pyramid in the world. The climate tends to be hot and dry here, so don’t forget your hat, sunblock, and plenty of water. Once you’re done with the archeological area, head to La Gruta, a unique restaurant inside a cave that’s just a few minutes from the pyramids. Tours to Teotihuacán can be organized at most hotels and tourism kiosks. Take into account this trip will normally take a whole day." - MATADOR_NETWORK
