1. Teotihuacan Pyramids

Teotihuacán pyramids are incredible. Pyramid of the sun abs pyramid of the moon can both be climbed, as well as some smaller pyramids. The steps are rough and very steep and sometimes uneven. They have hand rails on most sections of the climb up and down. Beautiful views from both pyramids. There is also locals selling their handicrafts at the entrance and exit as well as within the site. I didn’t notice any water being sold so being your own. It can get very hot. There are bathrooms near the entrance. When we arrived we were asked if we wanted a free history tour. We followed a lady in her motorbike to a little store where someone talked about the agave plant and we sampled some tequila. Then we were asked to look through their store. — avoid this if you do not want to purchase anything or get the “history” which wasn’t actually given. Highly recommend this visit. It’s a ways out of Mexico City, but worth the drive.

A sanctuary for viewing Monarch Butterflies in central Mexico.

What a way to say goodbye to 2019 and hello to 2020. We visited on 31 Dec and what a perfect sunny day it was. From the moment we got to the car park we were surrounded by the butterflies floating through the air. The walk up to the trees where they ‘roost’ was magnificent- beautiful forest and flowers and (wherever there was sun) the butterflies- in their millions. It is surreal, magical, amazing and totally mesmerising - and when you see their trees you cannot believe your eyes! Millions of them! To me one of the most incredible things was to stand quietly and listen to them - you find you can easily hear the wings flapping! Logistics - as you come toward the sanctuary there are a few groups of guides on roadsides. The original sanctuary will be a bit further on and is obvious. As you enter some people will try to wave you into their parking area - they are not part of the original and caretaking cooperative just behind. The cooperative that run the Sanctuary are well organised as a group and everything is well run from clean toilets to great guides and really good food. They are from the local area and take care of the sanctuary whilst sharing the income. It is really interesting and fun to talk to them and find out more. They call the people / guides outside ‘clandestinos’ which is I guess correct but I also guess everyone is just trying to make a living. Whatever you think, the people here are wonderful to chat to (in Spanish). Costs - for what you get it’s very cheap! 30pesos parking (car should be safe and secure while you’re away) 70pesos per person entry which includes your guide 250ish to take a horse up the hill - a good idea if really unfit! 5pesos for the loos! Don’t miss it!!

Reviewed By grip652 - Collierville, United States
This huge building has walls and ceiling of stained glass depicting “Man and his relationship with the universe.”The colors are vivid and change with the natural light outside. The name of the mural is Cosmovitral for cosmos and the Spanish word for glass. There are gardens that feature plants from around the world, from roses and herbs to cacti. Fountains and ponds add to the artistic atmosphere. Bathrooms are clean. There is a very small gift kiosk at the exit. A wide variety of vendors surround the building.

This is an easy walk through trees and plants, across a small bridge, down some steps to the waterfall. There are kiosks part of the way. A short walk through a very pleasant park.
