Pyramids of Teotihuacan

Two years ago, we visited the pyramids of Teotihuacan and this year we went on a return visit.  Last time we began at one end of the 3 kilometer site and this time, we began at the other.  We explored the area around the Pyramide de la Luna (Moon Pyramid), the Quetzalpapalotl Palace, and finally the largest pyramid, Pyramide del Sol (Sun Pyramid).  

What is interesting about Teotihuacan is how large and prominent it was.  It was eventually abandoned; some believe it may have been due to a drastic drought where crops withered and died. 

We had an enjoyable hike around the site, which included a climb to the top of the Pyramide del Sol (Pyramid of the Sun), the larger of the two pyramids.  It provided a beautiful view of the entire site!
