Teotihuacan arose as a new religious centre in the Mexican Highland, around the time of Christ. Although little is known about the early beginnings, archaeological data shows the next two centuries were characterized by monumental construction, during which Teotihuacan quickly became the largest and most populous urban centre in the New World. The city seems to have functioned for centuries as a well-developed urban centre until its rather sudden collapse, possibly in the seventh century. The place was called Teotihuacan by Nahuatl speakers several centuries after the city's fall, but its original name, the language and the people who built the city are still unknown. In the morning we depart the city heading to the breathtaking archaeological site of Teotihuacan. Enjoy lunch at "La Gruta"; a cave that has been transformed into a restaurant. By the afternoon, after a magnificent tour of the ruins, we return to Mexico City. Conclude the tour with a visit of the famous Guadalupe Shrine.
