These ancient pyramids at Teotihuacan, the largest in the Americas, were at the heart of a culture that flourished between the Year Zero and the year 500.

Favorite Part of the Trip?
Paige: I have two. One was on the Pyramid of the Moon where I was sitting down for a group photo and a dog came up and decided to lie in my lap. 

Alyssa: Teotihucan! Climbing those pyramids was an amazing experience that I will always remember! They were so much bigger than I imagined! That was my biggest highlight of the trip!
