Mexico’s biggest ancient city, and the capital of what was
once its largest pre-historic empire. A pilgrimage site for Aztec royalty, who
believed that the gods sacrificed themselves here. Home to the third
tallest pyramid in the world, built around AD 100 (before the invention of the
wheel for Pete’s sake!)
What better way to experience it, than to lace up some
sneakers and climb to the top of it?
El Pirámide del Sol is believed to have been built to
worship the sun god, and to this day it is a site of mystical energies. Upon
reaching the top, sunburnt and breathless, it’s customary to touch the center
and soak up some of that good stuff. My favorite part was the dozen or so
butterflies circling just overhead, attracted to something up there clearly. Pretty magical indeed.
