THE TAKE

The blueprint everyone else built on: a 2,000-year-old metropolis whose pyramids were already ancient ruins when the Aztecs named it "the place where the gods were created."

WHY IT’S WORTH IT

1UNESCO World Heritage since 1987 and one of the largest pre-Columbian cities ever built in the Americas, with the Pyramid of the Sun the third-largest pyramid on earth.

2A full Mesoamerican urban plan you can still walk: the 2.5 km Avenue of the Dead linking the Pyramids of the Sun and Moon and the carved Temple of the Feathered Serpent.

3Mexico's second most-visited archaeological site, under INAH custody, an hour from the capital and a true bucket-list day trip.
