Teotihuacán raises entry fees in 2026, becoming Mexico’s priciest ruins

Teotihuacán, one of Mexico’s most popular archaeological sites, has raised its entry fees from January 2026. The new prices make it one of the most expensive ruins in the State of Mexico, which manages 16 such locations. Over 1.8 million tourists visited the site in 2025 alone.

As of 1 January 2026, Mexican visitors now pay 105 pesos to enter Teotihuacán, an increase of 5 pesos. Foreign tourists face a higher charge of 210 pesos. Free admission on Sundays remains for Mexican nationals and residents with valid ID.

Other sites in the State of Mexico have also seen price rises. Entry to the Open Chapel of Tlalmanalco, Acolman Ex-Convent, and Oxtotipac Ex-Convent now costs 145 pesos for general admission and 80 pesos for Mexican nationals. Additional locations with increased fees include Calixtlahuaca, Malinalco, Los Melones, Santa Cecilia, and Tenayuca I. Certain groups continue to qualify for free entry under federal law. Accredited teachers, students, seniors, and registered tourist guides are exempt from charges at all INAH-managed sites. Valid identification is still required for these exemptions.

The price adjustments position Teotihuacán among the costliest archaeological attractions in the region. Free Sunday access for Mexican visitors stays unchanged, alongside exemptions for eligible groups. The changes apply to multiple sites across the State of Mexico.
