Tula de Allende, Hidalgo
The Pyramids of Tula de Allende, Hidalgo are in a desert with beautiful cacti.

The beautiful Statues of the main pyramid are over 5m high and make this pyramid something special.

Tula de Allende, Hidalgo
Tula de Allende, Hidalgo is not overrun with tourists as it is a little off the beaten path. But it can easily be reached by bus from Mexico City in 1.5 hours. The luxurious busses are not what one would expect from Mexico, they have A/C, monitors where they show movies (like on a plane), and some even have free WiFi during the drive! All for about$25.

Pyramid de Cuicuilco
The Pyramid de Cuicuilco is inside Mexico City. It is round and therefore not really a pyramid. Even though it is right in the city not many people come here.

Quetzalcoatl Pyramid
The best of Xochicalco is certainly the Quetzalcoatl Pyramid with it's engraved walls. But also the view from the pyramid at the surrounding area is beautiful.

Xochicalco is by far not fully excavated, who knows what still is waiting to be discovered.

In a cave below the pyramids is a observatory, but unfortunately it was closed at my visit.
