We’ve also spoken to and heard from plenty of people who have arrived at that time or just after (before 9am) and it’s been open.Hope this helps!

This is a very details and useful info to utilize as guide when I visit Mexico City again. As you advised, the plan is to climb up Temple of the Sun right away and then tour the rest of the site with the site. We probably wouldn’t have gone on our own before finding your website. 15900 Ciudad de México, D.F
I went to Teotihuacan a couple weeks ago with some friends who decided to use Uber, but when another friend comes to visit next week, we are definitely taking the bus. However, it’s not cheap and tends to fill up with tour groups.If you’re after some authentic, reasonably priced fare then you’ll find numerous restaurants on the road that leads to Gate 2. *There is not a bathroom on the bus I am currently sitting on.

The use of the word favela is not stigmatisation, but simply a description of how the arrangement of the colourful houses on the hillside appear visually from a distance through the bus window, hence the use of the term “favela style”. Walk all the way to the left once you enter the terminal building to Sala (Gate) 8. Your return ticket is not for a scheduled time, so you can take any bus back to the city when you’re done.Buses will drop you off at Puerta 1 at Teotihuacan, where you can buy entrance tickets. 4813

Sorry I can’t be of more help on this.
Went there today and I have a couple of remarks:Otherwise: fantastic job, thanks a lot. Indios Verdes is a busy, overwhelming station so skip it if you’re not used to Latin American travel!I re-visited Teotihuacan in 2020 to check out the Teotihuacan Nocturno experience, which includes nighttime entry to see the pyramids lit up. However, the times listed in this post are based on the times advertised when we visited.
