The Pyramids of Teotihuacan – A Must-Visit Landmark in Mexico
If you’re traveling to Mexico City, visiting the Pyramids of Teotihuacan is an absolute must. This ancient site is breathtaking and offers a deeper understanding of Mexico’s rich history and culture. Here’s how to make the most of your visit:
Why You Need to Go
Teotihuacan is on a whole other level of awe compared to other landmarks, like Chichen Itza. Having visited three times, I can confidently say this place is magical, even though climbing the pyramids is no longer allowed. Each visit reveals something new, making it a place worth returning to.
Preparation Tips Wear Comfortable Clothing: • Opt for gym clothes or other lightweight, breathable outfits. • Comfortable shoes are a must, as you’ll be walking a lot. Pack Essentials: • Toilet Paper: Bathrooms provide limited paper, so bringing your own is helpful. Consider bringing disposable seat covers as well. • Water and Snacks: Staying hydrated and fueled is important, especially for a full-day visit. Timing: • Arrive early to avoid the midday sun and enjoy cooler temperatures.
What to Expect • A Full-Day Experience: This isn’t a quick visit. Plan to spend most of your day exploring the pyramids and surrounding areas. • Amenities: There are bathrooms and food vendors available, so you won’t need to leave for meals.
Highlights
While climbing the pyramids is no longer permitted, the sheer scale and history of the site make it a remarkable experience. Walking through this ancient city, you’ll discover so much about its culture and architecture.
Teotihuacan is more than just a tourist spot; it’s a journey through time. Pack smart, stay comfortable, and take in every moment of this...

These ancient structures, built over 4,500 years ago, still stand tall and proud, their secrets hidden beneath the sands of time. May the mysteries of these pyramids never be fully unraveled. Could the ancient Egyptians have truly understood the intricacies of their own creations? Will future generations continue to marvel at the ingenuity and skill of these ancient builders?

The dungeon area gets quite crowded with n00bs looking to party up for the pyramid raids so I recommend coming early in the morning around 8-9am if you wish to raid with l33t pr0s. I read that most people take about 15 min to climb the pyramid but we bet the wizard in our party to do it under 5 minutes. The pyramid guardians told him not to run but it didn't stop the bet. To be fair, our wizard specced as a battlemage early on so he was able to cast powerstride and made it to the top in 4 minutes. This however came with consequences as he was fatigued the entire raid and was stuck with casting level 3 firebolts like a got dang chump.
When your party finish raiding the Pyramid of the Sun, make sure to heal up because Pyramid of the Moon is where you can collect additional experience. At the bottom of the Moon you can clap to hear duck noises which is a nice easter egg by the devs. When you're on top of the Moon, if you're lucky you may see Doggus the Doggo, the stray guardian of the moon. Offer water to Doggus and your party will receive a temporary +15 fortitude blessing.
It is also recommended to speed travel by summoning an Uber instead of taking a tour package like a common peasant. Our party asked the Uber to wait for us and went back to the city after the raid. The men's bathroom has no TP so bring your own Town...
