You arrive just after dawn and the plaza hums with the low, deliberate footsteps of other early visitors; dust from the Avenue of the Dead lifts underfoot and the Sun Pyramid crowns the horizon like a patient giant. Your guide meets you at the chosen breakfast spot — a cool, echoing cave or a terrace that looks over the complex — and sets the tone with local history before you step onto the stone avenues.
