Pyramids~ Teotihuacan, Mexico




Slightly less than 25 miles from Mexico City, you will find Teotihuacan. Here is a website you can get facts at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teotihuacan
Teotihuacan is a sharp contrast to Mexico City. Mexico City has all of the big name companies you will find in the US, and tons of people trying to share one small space. Teotihuacan is a small community that makes it's money from tourists coming to see the pyramids and artifacts. It is a long hike from where you park to the place where the pyramids are. Vendors take advantage of the hike by setting up shop along the trail. The business owners mostly sell reproduced artifacts and fake silver (of course, they don't tell you it is fake).
