welcome to Teotihuacan
what's up guys today we are in Mexico City we have some
coffee here this is chilaquiles so chilaquiles is
chips and in this case it's wave us some eggs on top and a little bit of cheese
and usually a sunset as well and it comes with all of this so five dollars
each you get this home meal chilaquiles I got a coffee fruit plate carrot juice
for 11 my good night after this breakfast
take an uber and tail to Oaxaca
welcome to be able to walk in an ancient Mesoamerican city and it's mostly known
for these architectural a significant pyramids nobody knows really who built
this place but they think that it started around 200 BC so theater walking
actually translates to the place where the gods were all these stairs this is
the smaller pyramid and look this is see what's at the top
so this behind us is the temple of the feathered serpent and it is the third
largest pyramid here so in the 80s they discovered that there were over 100
sacrificial victims very underneath this so all of these carvings here all are
round on all sides of the temple these are the feathered serpent deity
right now we're walking through the Avenue of the Dead so it's this large
road that you're gonna walk down the whole way to the main pyramids and so
right now we are trying to get to the Pyramid of the Sun the largest of all of
them here you can see all the little people up on the pyramid over there all
right we made it to the Pyramid of the Sun this is the largest pyramid here and
it stands about 200 feet tall and it's around 2,000 years old it's actually
about half the size of the Pyramid of Giza and it's the third tallest ancient
pyramid in the world
we don't even know who built it it could have been anyone but they have a good
guess which is the Aztecs so who knows
anything in this hike not too bad yet but we're only about two minutes in
maybe about 15 steps in so we got a ways to go bigger about a third of the way up
you know this guy had to take a break look at this view it's so windy
what down here this is all the avenue of the dead down here and it leads straight
to the Pyramid of the moon we're heading to the top right now I wear flip-flops
not the smartest thing but I make it work
so look at this view pyramid of the moon-- over there yep and you have a
360-degree view of the whole place so depending how slow you walk it
probably takes about 15 to 20 minutes to hike this pyramid and it's pretty nice
at least today once you get to the top it's a very hot day but there's a bunch
of wind up here and it cools you off so it's actually not bad now let's go check
out Pyramid of the moon so this is Pyramid of the moon which is the second
largest of all the pyramids here but this one is cool because from here you
get a view of the whole Avenue of the Dead and you have all of these smaller
pyramids all around it alright right now I got away from the crowds a little bit
and I'm sitting on my own little pyramid look if you want to get away from the
crowd and have your own space a little bit you can find that it's the middle of
the day right now huge crowds but about ten of these pyramids are all free and
here's Lindsey climbing one of the other ones so I'm on pretty much an identical
pyramid right now
see Lindsey down there he's following her trying to sully things she's going
the completely opposite way now alright so we've been walking around here for
about two hours in the heat hiking up these pyramids and so now
we're gonna go get some food and drink so on the way when we were in our uber
we saw this really colorful little town and we decided it would be great to stop
over there as we researched some more about the
cold colorful city I kept the veteran it's one of the most dangerous cities in
Mexico so realize that probably might not be the best idea so we decided
instead of that we're gonna go to this place that's really close by this is a
restaurant that's inside a cave and it's only about two miles from pyramids so we
figured we'd give it a try looks like they have some kind of exotic foods but
have bugs in them yeah we're hoping to try some crickets and some worms but it
seems like kind of an upscale place so it's not just like eating these insects
from the street it looks like they're fancy plates sounds appetizing
they're over abaca doh
what's up guys all the way to the main periods of this complex did I say that
so after climbing up these other period period it's around 2,000 years old
just for Dave but limit alright so walk okay want to get me
tailed to walkin alright so right now we're just tailed to walk in around
these rocks are jutting out like this I don't know what that means
unwalkable
