Teotihuacán is a popular destination near Mexico City. Since the dawn of history this was a center of temples and pyramids. The Aztec Empire held ceremonies at the site consisting of bloody human sacrifice. The earliest origins of this and other monuments found here is, in large part, lost in time.

As a visitor I can not fail to consider the tens of thousands of people of many cultures who walked this path over several thousand years to the present.
