Teotihuacan Prices and Schedules: How much does it cost to visit the pyramids?

The city of Teotihuacan in the State of Mexico is the most mysterious archaeological site in the country, a place named “The city where men became Gods”.

Today it has not been discovered what happened to the Teotihuacan culture and that makes it even more striking.

Here we will share with you a definitive guide to visit Teotihuacan, all the costs you should consider to visit and some tips to save money.

Teotihuacan Prices

Here are all the costs you should consider if you are going to visit this place

Price of Teotihuacan Entrance Fee

The price to enter the archeological zone is: $80.00 Mexican pesos.

This price only covers access

Cost of Guide in Teotihuacan

There are 2 types of guides you can hire: Guides outside the site or guides inside the archaeological zone.

The outside guides charge 800 pesos for the tour (they can be up to 12-15 people) and are supposed to be cheaper than the inside guides.

In addition to the cost of the guide, you must pay 80 pesos for access to the archeological zone (per person).

I highly recommend hiring a guide service to enhance the experience, so here are some tips to save you some money.

Tip to reduce costs: There is a guided tour that costs 400 pesos and includes the guide + access(Check it here) and, if you visit from Mexico City, there is an option that includes transportation(Check it here).

Food costs

There are several places where you can eat. You can choose between restaurants or food stalls.

The cost of food is very variable and depends on the budget you have and what you want to spend.

Meals can range from $100 to $450 pesos per person.

If you are on a budget, we recommend that you eat at La Gruta restaurant, a spectacular and millenary restaurant that has been in business for over 100 years.

Transportation cost to get to Teotihuacan.

If you use your own car, don’t forget to consider the cost of toll booths and gasoline (1000 pesos should be more than enough to cover this cost).

If you take the bus, the price is 50 pesos each way (100 pesos round trip).

What is the best way to get to Teotihuacan?

I honestly believe that taking the Teotihuacan Tour from CDMX is one of the best ways, especially if you are in Mexico City. The tour is the safest and most comfortable option and includes basically everything.

Parking Fee

• Cars: $45 pesos
• Motorcycles: $20 pesos
• Van: $80 pesos (11 to 20 people)
• Bus: $160 pesos (more than 20 people)

Souvenir prices

In Teotihuacan you will find all kinds of stores to buy souvenirs, there are even street vendors inside the archaeological site. What you should know is that these sellers can be bargained with.

250 pesos is a good budget to consider if you want to buy some souvenirs.
