Travel Better Tips for The Teotihuacan Pyramids
+ Bring plenty water with you. We use and recommend Water-To-Go filter bottles everywhere we go to cut down our single-use plastic and give instant access to clean, safe drinking water – even from the bathroom taps here. Buy yours here on Amazon or use ‘ADR15’ for a 15% off on the official website.
+ If setting off early from Mexico City, you’ll probably need to wear a layer, but after a few hours at the site you most definitely won’t need it anymore.

+ In our main guide to visiting Teotihuacan, we’ll be going into more detail about the experience and the history. However, we should note that the on site museum is very much a worthwhile stop for adding a lot more context and depth to you visit. It’s also home to more of the treasures of Teotihuacan.
+ There are multiple vendors lining the Calzada de los Muertos, selling souvenirs, hats, and umbrellas. They’re also the reason for the the constant jaguar calls (you’ll know what we mean once you hear the first one).
+ We do a lot of research before we visit ruins and archaeological sites so that we have a decent level of context and background. There’s an ok level of signage in English here but a knowledgeable guide really will help you get more of…
