After our time at the Prymids we went to the Gruta (cave) Restaurant nearby for a show and dinner.

Performers spin around the pole with straps tied to their ankles.
A Saturday visit was made to the Teotihuacan Pyramids. While Europe was still in the midst of the Dark Ages, the amazing Mayan people had mapped the heavens, evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas and were masters of mathematics. They invented the calendars we use today. Without metal tools, beasts of burden or even the wheel they were able to construct vast cities. The Mayan pyramids of Teotihuacan rise as high as twenty-story buildings, above the central Mexican highlands with a grandeur and mystery that stirs the imagination and inspires the soul. It is intriguing to consider the surveying and construction skills of so-called primitive societies; this site is truly exceptional. All of the buildings are aligned with the stars and the solar system from precise survey points in the nearby mountain range, using an advanced understanding of mathematics, geometry and astronomy.

You can see the people atop the Pyramid of the Sun.
This part of the complex dates back to pre classic times.
