You arrive before the high sun, the Avenue of the Dead stretching out like an old spine toward the Pyramid of the Sun; wind pushes up from the valley and dares you to climb. The first hour is stone and story — broad platforms, steep steps, and the hush of a place that once hosted tens of thousands.

Hydrate for altitude
Teotihuacan sits around 2,200–2,300 m; drink water before and during the tour to reduce light-headedness.
Wear grippy shoes
Stairs and worn stone can be steep and uneven — sturdy walking shoes with traction help you climb safely.
Sun protection
Strong sun and little shade mean sunscreen, a wide-brim hat, and UV sunglasses are crucial for midday comfort.
Carry local cash
Some vendors and park concessions accept only cash; bring small bills for souvenirs or snacks.
Sturdy walking shoes
Provide traction on steep, worn stone steps and loose gravel.
Refillable water bottle (1–1.5L)
Keeps you hydrated across long stretches in sun and at altitude.
Sun hat and sunscreen
Protects against strong high-altitude sun during open-site exploration.
Light rain jacket
Afternoon showers are common in summer; a compact shell keeps you dry.
