The widest pyramid in the world and the only one with a catholic church on top!

If entering through the tunnels, get there early. Once it gets crowded, the tunnels are super packed and claustrophobic.

(2021 Update) Cool site, but extremely confusing signage on where to enter. The church is only open on weekends, so you’re literally relegated to checking out just the outdoor portion. Underwhelming.

Popsicles... and the view of course
