Two practical Teotihuacan route plans for travelers coming from Mexico City: one shorter pyramid-focused visit and one fuller day with more context and less rushing.
The simple answer is that you should not assume every pyramid is climbable. Here is what INAH changed in 2025, what that means now, and why the rule still needs a last-minute check.

The official Teotihuacan entrance fee, who gets discounts, when Sundays are free, and the one planning detail first-time visitors from Mexico City usually miss.
