Teotihuacan: Journey to the City of the Gods • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to your journey toward one of the most enigmatic wonders of the ancient world. You are currently in the northern part of Mexico City, specifically in the district of Gustavo A. Madero near Calle Cabo Finisterre. This area serves as a vital transit hub for those making the pilgrimage to the Pre-Hispanic City of Teotihuacan, which lies approximately forty kilometers, or about twenty-five miles, to the northeast. As you stand here amidst the bustle of modern Mexico City, you are following in the footsteps of the Aztecs, who traveled this same direction centuries ago to find a city already in ruins—a place so magnificent they believed it was where the gods themselves were created. Get ready to bridge the gap between our modern world and a civilization that was once the largest and most influential in the Americas.
