The Pyramid of the Moon, located in Teotihuacan, Mexico, is the second largest structure in this ancient city. As part of the Teotihuacan archaeological site, visitors can explore the pyramid and surrounding plazas, offering a glimpse into pre-Columbian Mesoamerican culture. Accessibility can be a challenge due to the uneven terrain and steep steps of the pyramids, though the main paths are generally manageable. Solo exploration is possible, but a guided tour is recommended to fully appreciate the historical context and significance. Peak seasons can be crowded; visiting during the shoulder seasons (spring or fall) provides a more comfortable experience. Entrance fees to the Teotihuacan site are approximately $85 pesos (about $5 USD). A typical visit to the Pyramid of the Moon and the broader Teotihuacan site lasts between 3 to 5 hours, allowing ample time for climbing and exploring the surrounding area.
