Cheap Flights to Mexico

Mexico City is the largest city in Latin America and a major cheap flights destination. Several centuries ago, an area just north of the Mexican capital was the largest pre-Columbian city of the American continents. Teotihuacan was an elaborate urban area that predated the Aztecs and is now one of Mexico’s most popular attractions. Construction began here around 300 B.C. and the huge city was abandoned sometime around 800 A.D., coinciding with the end of the Classic Period in Mesoamerica. At just 40 kilometers northeast of Mexico City, it is just a quick drive or bus ride from the city center and easily accessible.

In the Nahuatl language, Teotihuacan stands for “the place where men became gods.” Besides becoming a major city with a population of up to 200,000, Teotihuacan was also a religious center and the location of some of the largest ancient temples still standing today. Teotihuacan has attracted countless archaeologists on cheap flights to Mexico to study this site and its wonders. The city centers along a wide road, known as the Avenue of the Dead. There are three major temples that visitors can check out and all still display visible murals and art. The Temple of the Sun is the largest pyramid and was actually built over an extensive cave site. This temple will give you amazing views of the mountains around the complex. If you can handle the climb up - there are about 250 steep stairs - these views and photos will be well worth your cheap tickets. The Temple of Quetzalcoatl is the most sacred temple in Teotihuacan. It is covered in elaborate dragon heads carved out of stone. The Temple of the Moon is also impressive and beautiful. In front of this temple, the Palace of the Jaguars has indigenous art exhibits including paintings and sculptures. Another palace at Teotihuacan is the Quetzalpapalotl Palace. Although scholars still know very little about the culture and people that lived here, this palace is assumed to have been the home of the rulers of Teotihuacan. The patio of the palace is covered with birds carved into the stone pillars. The site museum, Museo Teotihuacan, has a miniature model of the city that can give you an idea of what the whole complex once looked like. When you visit Teotihuacan, you’ll see plenty of vendors with snacks, silver jewelry and other trinkets that you can check out for possible souvenirs to bring on your flights home.
