In addition to the pyramid of the sun and moon, the ruined city contains great plazas, temples, a canalized river, and palaces of nobles and priests. The main buildings are connected by a 130-foot- (40-metre-) wide road, the Avenue of the Dead (“Calle de los Muertos”), that stretches 1.5 miles (2.4 km); oriented slightly east of true north, it points directly at the nearby sacred peak of Cerro Gordo. The Avenue of the Dead was once erroneously thought to have been lined with tombs, but the low buildings that flank it probably were palace residences.

When strolling along Avenida de Muertos - the Avenue of the Dead - you have a pyramid in front of you and one behind you. The Pyramid of the Sun is the third largest pyramid in the world, and the city of Teotihuacán once housed up to 125,000 people. An incredibly impressive place

Today, it is no longer possible to climb the pyramids. The risk of accidents is too high
