The best known Latin American pyramids include the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon at Teotihuacán in central Mexico, the Castillo at Chichén Itzá in the Yucatan, the Great Pyramid in the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan, the Pyramid at Cholula and the Inca's great temple at Cuzco in Peru.

They built their cities around a central pyramid that had a temple, meaning a religious center, where priests would communicate with their gods. These temples were one of the most important parts of Aztec religion because they were a center for their religious ritual of human sacrifice..

Mesoamerican pyramids are only similar to Ancient Egyptian pyramids in that they are pyramids. Egyptian pyramids are much larger than the Mayan pyramids, and have smooth sides (except the stepped pyramid Pyramid of Djoser ) and pointed tips.They built pyramids to house and honor their deities. The Aztec civilization constructed pyramids around the central plains in Mexico. Unlike Egyptian structures, Aztec pyramids have flat tops, not pointed peaks like Egyptian pyramids do. Often, the Aztecs built temples on those flat pyramid tops
