Known as the City of the Gods, Teotihuacán was the metropolis of a mysterious Mesoamerican civilization that reached its zenith around AD 100. Once the largest city in the region but abandoned centuries before the arrival of the Aztecs, Teotihuacán boasts towering pyramids and stone temples with detailed statues and intricate murals.
The Teotihuacan pyramids form part of the remnants of a powerful Mesoamerican city, the origins of which remain a mystery to this day. Contrary to common belief, they were not built by the Aztecs but the Aztecs were the ones who named the site Teotihuacan.
...MoreNot at present. There are currently restrictions on climbing the Teotihuacan pyramids, which have previously been accessible to visitors. It's not clear whether these restrictions will remain in place temporarily or permanently so plan accordingly when visiting Teotihuacan.
...MoreTeotihuacan is home to two pyramids: the Pyramid of the Sun and the Pyramid of the Moon. The Pyramid of the Sun is the largest of the two.
...MoreTeotihuacan is a vast site with little to no shade, so wear light layers, comfortable shoes, and a hat to protect you from the beating sun. Taking both sunscreen and water is also recommended.
...MoreYes, there are public bathrooms available at Teotihuacan, but only near the access points and not in the main site itself.
...MoreTeotihuacan is open daily from 9am. It's worth arriving earlier than that if you plan to buy your tickets on the day, as lines can be long.
