Plaza del Sol — Attraction in State of Mexico

Wow! This was the word that was constantly going through my mind as I approached, then climbed the pyramid.

While the climb looks tough, it is less taxing as it looks, but it is steep. The views from the top are well worth the climb, and it is especially amazing that one can actually walk around the whole thing.

The pyramid is in great shape and makes you wonder how 200.000 people once lived in this area. This excursion is well worth the trip from Mexico city...even with the pesty souvenir vendors (one of which called me 'very fat' in spanish - assuming that non Mexicans cannot understand spanish).

Water was a nice to have, but it was not an absolute necessity. Thankfully, the area wasn't too full, but it may be unbearable in the high...

A beautiful piece of art With lots of historical value. You will be amazed by how beautiful and enormous this pyramid is. It is located not too far from the other pyramid (Pyramid of the Moon). Highly recommend bringing comfortable shoes and clothes to keep you cool during the hot days. Hats and other shade producing clothing will be very beneficial too! Don’t...
