Things To Do
Pyramids of Teotihuacan
The pyramids are located approximately 25 miles northeast of Mexico City. Here's how you can get there: Consider booking a guided tour from Mexico City to Teotihuacan. Many tour operators offer guided tours that include transportation, an expert guide, and sometimes even lunch. This option provides you with a hassle-free experience and the opportunity to learn more about the history and significance of the site. If you prefer to drive, you can rent a car in Mexico City and follow the signs to Teotihuacan. The drive takes about one hour, depending on traffic. You can also take a taxi or use a ride-sharing service (such as Uber) from Mexico City to Teotihuacan. This option offers more flexibility but may be more expensive than the bus. Important Tips: Consider visiting Teotihuacan early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the midday heat and crowds. Wear comfortable clothing, sunscreen, and a hat, and bring plenty of water.
