Fuente de los Coyotes in Coyoacán

Fuente de los Coyotes in Coyoacán

Two bronze coyotes are the center of this magnificent fountain. The animals were of big significance to the Aztecs, reigning the grounds in and around Mexico City in the past; many still hold beliefs about the supernatural powers of coyotes to-date. The fountain is located in a park in Coyoacán, whose name translates as "place of abundant coyotes". The bohemian Coyoacán district is known for its cobblestone streets and colonial architecture. Come here for the Frida Kahlo Museum, the home of Leon Trotsky, art galleries, cozy cafes and restaurants, as well as colorful artisan markets.

Teotihuacan Pyramids

Teotihuacan Pyramids

Book a tour with a local provider to visit the impressive Teotihuacán Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. The archaeological site belongs to the UNESCO cultural heritage list, and is located about 28 miles (45 kilometers) from the city center. With its 213-feet (65-meter) height, the Pyramid of the Sun is the third biggest in the world and dates back to the year 100 A.D. A mystical atmosphere envelops the place and you can get a whole new perspective climbing the stairs to the top. It's best to come early to avoid crowds and the scorching sun. On days when access to the pyramid complex is closed, you can see them from a hot air balloon.
