Locals and tourists alike gathered at the Pyramid of the Sun
to bask in the first sunlight of the solar new year
Many believe doing so will grant them special energy
(Eduardo Juarez, Local visitor)
“We came to charge energy and, as a Mexican, the main feeling is to remember our culture, our ancestors, and especially with the essence of Teotihuacan, Chichen Itza, all the culture our ancestors left to us.”
The Pyramid of the Sun has served as a
gathering place for meteorological events
since it was built almost 2,000 years ago
