Stop At: Teotihuacan Pyramids, San Juan Teotihuacan 55800 Mexico
Teotihuacán is a large and majestic archaeological site located about 25 miles (40 km) north of Mexico City. It is famous for its large pyramids dedicated to the sun and the moon, but the site also contains beautiful murals and carvings and several museums through which you can explore the city’s fascinating history. This is one of the largest and most important archaeological sites in Mexico.
One of these huge pyramid is one of ancient Mexico’s largest structures. It is nearly 200 feet high and 700 feet wide. The pyramids of Mexico never came to a point on top like the pyramids of Egypt, but were flat on top and were often just bases for temples. This pyramid was built on top of a cave which was discovered in 1970. The cave is over 100 yards long and ends in the shape of a four-leaf clover, with four chambers. In ancient Mexico, caves represented passageways to the underworld but were also thought of as the womb of the earth.

It is the most visited Marian enclosure in the world, surpassed only by the Basilica of Saint Peter. At least twenty million pilgrims visit the sanctuary annually, of which about nine million do so on the days close to December 12, the day when Santa María de Guadalupe is celebrated. Annually, the Basilica of Santa María de Guadalupe has at least twice as many visitors as the more well-known Marian shrines, which is why it constitutes an outstanding social and cultural phenomenon.
