Teotihuacan and Uxmal are two of the most extraordinary archaeological sites in Mexico, which tell very different stories. Teotihuacan, located near Mexico City, was one of the largest metropolises of the ancient world. Founded around 100 BCE, it was inhabited until the 7th century CE. Its architecture is monumental, geometric, and meticulously planned: the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, along with the Avenue of the Dead, reflect an imposing and ceremonial urban vision.
Uxmal, whose name means “built three times", is located in the Yucatán and flourished between 600 and 1000 CE as a major center of the Maya civilization. Uxmal stands out for its decorative elegance: its buildings, such as the Pyramid of the Magician and the Governor’s Palace, are adorned with intricate geometric patterns and masks of the rain god, Chaac.
If Teotihuacan captivates with its monumental scale, Uxmal enchants with its artistic refinement and urban ingenuity. Both are unique testimonies to the Mesoamerican civilizations.
