A religious and culturally significant place , where the mysteries of an ancient past meld with local traditions and the unconventional , the capitol city of Mexico envelopes a distinct future through modern design and technological advancements – this is Mexico City ( CDMX ).
Premium air transportation to CDMX is available through AeroMexico , with their main global hub being Mexico City . A fleet of new top-quality jets , complimentary in-flight services including food and beverages ( alcoholic and nonalcoholic ) make AeroMexico the perfect choice for travel to this and other sun and fun destinations .
Located 40kms northeast of Metropolitan Mexico City , one of the largest mysteries , the Teotihuacán pyramids of the Sun and Moon , and the surrounding buildings , sit sun-drenched in a conservation area . The site is referred to as the ‘ birhplace of the Gods ’, a name that was given by the Nahuatl-speaking Aztecs , reflecting Nahua creation myths that were said to occur in Teotihuacán .
The site was constructed around 100BC as the centre of a society that had approximately 125,000 inhabitants . The city was abandoned around 550AD , without any indication as to why . Today , it is also the most visited archaeological site in Mexico .
