► WHO AM I?
I am a Brazilian journalist living in the United States. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world… stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!
P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he’s actually camera-shy, that’s why he’s behind the camera most of the time 😉

Where did they get the rocks. Must be far away like giza's pyramids
I climbed both the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. At that elevation it was quite tough but the views were spectacular. Too bad you can’t climb them anymore but I suppose it’s just become too popular now.
Hermoso 🤩 lugar; fui antes de los virus 🦠 y con gusto volvería a ir; hermoso 🤩 video
Very interesting that you know a lot about the history of the pyramides I like your knowledge
its America, not The Americas. las americas is a gringo term.
There is a very unique restaurant inside an underground natural cavern, just outside Teotihuacan that serves pre-hispanic delicacies.
These huge ancient pyramids are really great! they're one of the best wonders in ancient America! and they're even bigger than the ones in Egypt! bigger than the other pyramids in Mexico! bigger than the other pyramids in Peru! and even bigger than the other pyramids anywhere in the world! these huge pyramids could also well be among the most glorious ancient places in all of Mexico! in all of America! and even in the whole world! the aztecs or whoever built those great pyramids were really very powerful in the ancient world! since only the most powerful cultures at that time in ancient America or even in all of the ancient world could have built something like that! since even their own construction is also a great mistery! too! since in those ancient times there were hardly even very few profesional construction tools around! therefore it would have been almost impossible to build something like that unless they were a very powerful civilization! or even they must have been the most powerful City at that time! and that's why many say that it really was "The New York of America" at that time! and even for the whole world! at that very ancient time! in order to organize by then thousands of ancient americans to build that great miracle! of that time! Therefore it was really the place where the simple men became Gods at that time! since such a great kind of constructions would make have made anyone at that very ancient time think also about God's Misteries! specially when they realized that those great pyramids were built by thousands of ancient americans but also with much help of God too! of course! 👍🙏
Wonderful, informative and fun to watch as always – you two make the best travel videos by far, keep up the excellent work 🙏👍👍
definitely Ney York of it's time. At about 500AD Teotihuacan was one of the largest cities on earth. Estimated to be between 125k to 200k in population. Love your content, already have liked and subscribed from Canada.
Интересна история жизни древних людей, монументальные сооружения они возводили
Good morning, I am going to Mexico City next month and would like to know what metro do I take to the bus terminal and what’s the name of the station. And also, once I purchase the bud ticket to the pyramid, will I be able to catch a bus going back at any time?
Yo volvere a visitar hasta que las autoridades permitan escalar la piramide otra vez como antes de la pandemia.
Should you be coming to Quintana Roo , here there is pyramides of Mayan culture is amazing I recommend you to visit , Tulum
I REALLY like your informative videos but I do NOT like the way you seem to be putting him down A LOT!!! I've noticed it in MANY of your videos – like asking him questions that he doesn't always have the answer to
Excellent video and great information, thank you !
Renata …just at the foot of the main stairway of the pyramid of the sun a mexican archaeologist discovered a passage with connection to the center of the pyramid, they had to use a robot made in mexico, one of the first used in archaeology, below they found many artifacts, and a whole representation of heaven on earth in which the Teotihuacanos believed!
Cool pyramid and app. I climbed inside and out at Chichen Itza back in the day, but I see you can’t do that anymore either.
I went there on a rainy day … I literally had the whole place to myself. No people at all. It was breathtaking, incredible and magical. I really did feel close to God that day …
What an incredible place. You both spoke in hushed tones so it must have had a big affect on you. I think it could also be described as the "Cairo" of the region.
Por la pandemia no esta permitido subir a las pirámides. No se cuantos equinoccios de primavera me subí a la pirámide del sol a tomar energías, es una experiencia inolvidable!!
I appreciate all your Mexico City videos. I will be going in October for two weeks. All these videos are informative and I appreciate the knowledge of history your research and gathered for this video.
Please never compare Gringoland with my beautiful Mexico,,, please read a book about American continent,,,
The pyramids still got covid 19, 20, 21, 22, and counting that's the reason you can't climb them anymore those are the dumb excuses they tell you and not just in teotihuacan but in chichenitza, and palenque, as well but they do take your money at full price to me not worth it 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
Metálica, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, U2 y muchos más famosos visitaron Teotihuacan
please less Yankee references?
Love this video!
I am enjoying watching your videos, a nice storyteller you are!!
Thanks for sharing.
He visitado tres veces este majestuoso lugar y aún me sigue impresionando.
Saludos de un Mexicano en Canadá!
