Los Piramides - Teotihuacan

We'd survived our first week at school and headed to Teotihuacan for some Saturday sightseeing. The city of Teotihuacan was built in the first century AD and is famous for the awe inspiring Pyramid of the Moon, Pyramid of the Sun and the Temple of the Feathered Serpent. Apparently the city came to a dramatic end and was later found by the Aztecs who were mighty impressed as you would be.

Climbing the pyramids was tough work, god knows how they actually built them! This is Pete at the top of the Pyramid of the Sun, behind him is the Pyramid of the Moon. The temples are connected by the 'Avenue of the Dead'!
