BEWARE the pyramid is closed since March 2020 due the pandemic. Some people were really disappointed when they got almost up. The walk is nice and the nature around beautiful.

This is a tough walk which I believe a mile from bottom to top and with a 400M incline. It is well sign posted and it is steps all the way with some areas to stop and sit. It can get busy so the earlier the better. There is a 85 pesos charge which you pay right at the very top so don’t forget the cash. Tough but once at the top the view is worth it. I’m a good walker and reasonably fit and this took me 2.5 hours with around 20-30 minutes at the top.

Wow. Superb. I've found a hike that puts "the incline" in Manitou springs to the test. This is a tough hike! Absolutely beautiful though and completely worth getting to the temple at the top. Keep going! Bring a good amount of water and a hat. You will need 90 pesos per person to get up on the temple site itself (cash). There are not a lot of trash stations along the way so pack it in and out. There is a small bottle recycle by the pyramid. Make sure you crush your bottles before you discard them. The temple itself is small and has an interesting history. There was a live guide there for us. There is also a small archaeology site opposite the temple where some homes and buildings used to be. You can access that with the same fee you get for access to the temple. The hike will take a couple of hours up and down, plus however much time you need to explore and rest. There are A LOT of stairs. You've been warned. I don't recommend trying this without proper footwear and good traction.

Seems to be permanently closed. They have not bothered to update signage. There is however someone sitting up top charging 60 pesos to access the only viewpoint on the trail. It seems like a scam.

Be prepared, it’s a very long climb to the top. It took us 1 hour 45 minutes from the end of the market stalls to the Pyramid. You can never see more than 20 - 30 meters so you don’t know or realize how much it is. Also take 55 pesos for entry. Take a bottle of water. Once at top, views are spectacular, but if I realized the climb I would not have done it. Took 1 hour 20 minutes to come back down. It’s not steps, the path is made from rocks and sometimes very slippery.

Hard level hike with awesome views. If you take it slow anyone can do it. It took us 1.5 to 2hrs to get to the top. Bring water. There are some people selling water/gaterorade, popsicles and small snacks at different points of the hike. Lots of shade and rocks. Enjoy!

If all you are interested in is the hike, then be sure to visit, just not on a Sunday, as it is free and therefore very crowded. If you are here for the ruins, first, don't visit on a Monday or Tuesday, as it's closed. Second, don't visit at all - after the arduous hike, the ruins were a bit of a disappointment. There are other, better, ruins to visit. Tula, Tajin, Cantona and Teotihuacan are a few off the top of my head that are far more interesting to visit.

It was an intense hike to the temple. As a person who seldom exercise it is a bit challenging but in the end it is worth it! The view is nice and the nature is enjoyable. It is a nice destination if you want some exercise in your trip.

-Open only Wednesday - Sunday. -$90 pesos Wednesday - Saturday. -$0 pesos on Sundays only. -Cash only. See pic for more details. If you are NOT in shape, it'll most likely take you 2 1/2 hrs on your way up and about 1 hr going down because you'll make multiple stops to catch your breath. If you are in shape, it'll probably take you 1 hr going up and 20 mins going down. It's a challenging hike with a steep angle but worth it because of the bird watching, beautiful trees, amazing rocks/bouldes and overall great vibe. PLEASE don't trash the place because you make the 'Guardabosques de Tepoztlán' (Park Rangers) job even harder specially because they DON'T GET PAID. The locals volunteer their time to pick up disrespectful/ignorant people's trash or clean their graffiti to keep the archeological site and the entire mountain intact. Don't be one of those people.

It's a beautiful place for spending time, walking or anything if you like nature and aventure, The way it's approximate 1 hour to up and 1 hour to donw, the sendero is closed at 4pm, take your precautions

Beautiful!! But **heads up**you can't get to the very top. Enjoy the exercise, greenery, birds and lovely nature but don't expect the vistas seen in older pics back when things were open. Steps turn into stones but it isn't terribly strenuous. Take it easy on the way down. We went at dusk on a weekday and it was nearly empty!

The archeological zone is CLOSED until 2028. They let you entere a bit the forest area (like 500 meters) but that’s about it. You can’t see anything, you don’t even have a view over the city. In my opinion is not worth it going here.

The hike it's a little intense, but it is so worthy, amazing landscapes and you feel one with nature. I truly enjoyed the journey more so than the destination. The ruins are pretty blunt and aside from the view there is not much to see.

I thought I was going to die hiking up the mountain but it is so worth it ....the views are amazing and the history is even better. A must do...just don't drink the night before lol....you will be so thankful you made the pilgrimage

The climb is steep and long. My legs were like rubber bands by the end, but it was worth it. The view and the pyramid are beautiful.

It is incredible!! 😍 The INAH closes the access to the mountain at 4pm for the safety of the people, it is a shaded area and gets dark really fast. The rocks can be slippery when wet, but it is beautiful! Unfortunately I arrived a little after 4pm and wasn't able to climb to the top and take picture of the pyramid, but was lucky enough to take a picture of it from the town. Another day I'll climb that mountain!

A beautiful place for a hike. It takes 50 minutes or more to reach the top, the pyramid area. Check the schedule to make sure you get there while still open. If you are planning on going by the end of the day, make sure you have enough time for the hike, resting time along the way and time to enjoy the view. Visit the pyramid (right side) and also take time to explore the area to the left. There is a fee you have to pay at the top, make sure you bring cash with you.

Do not take easy on the distance of 400m on map. It will take you about an hour to reach the site. There is a small pyramid (like some kind of ritual place) on top of mountant with beautiful view down to the town. Bring water with you.

Very beautiful hike! It was definitely a tough climb up. It took us about 50 minutes to get to the top. Be very careful on the rocks coming down, especially after it has rained. I slipped and fell down hard on my back. But otherwise, it was beautiful and worth it!

Its quite a bit of a walk to the top but its worth it. If you're used to these kinds of activities they should be no problem. It is an incline all the way. Watch out for slippery rocks! Closes at 3pm so go with enough time as its an average of an hour up and another hour down.

It is always good to reconnect with our past. Mexico give us such a wonderful opportunity to do so.

The hike was intense but it was totally worth it! The view from the top is breathtaking! It's about a 2 mile hike round trip but the elevation is about 6700 ft. Definitely recomendó taking breaks and taking water if you are not used to elevation changes.

A must visit place!! It takes no less than 1h to reach the top! Bring snacks & water, you’ll need it even though there are random vendors along the way to the top! Please DO NOT bring children under 12 years old, as it can be a very challenging climb and on the way back there will be many tears unless you can carry your offspring(s) 😁

I love the town but we were not able to take the hike. When I asked information about the hike in a store. The guy that gave us the info started walking behind us, recording us as we walked around the shop. My husband asked him was he recording us. He said no I'm watching videos and put the phone down. That scared us and we decided not to go.

It’s about 2 hr hike to the top depending on physical condition. There is an archaeological zone at the top, which consist of ancient ruins. We went on a Tuesday and weren’t able to see the ruins because they close on Mondays and Tuesdays. On the way to the top you will find various vendors selling, all kinds of things such as food, drinks, and souvenirs.

When are in the area you should not miss visiting this place. Less for it’s archeological aspect, but more as a fabulous hike that results in an amazing view. You need some level of fitness as you cover almost 400 meters in height on a short distance. They tell you it takes 20 minutes, but unless you are a mountain marathon person, this is a lie. Take water and take your time. You will be joined by passionate Mexican. Enjoy the hike!

Awesome. I think I broke the record in ascending to the gate: 22 minutes and 45 seconds on Sunday, Oct. 23, 2022.

This place is quite beautiful... it can be a strainius walk up but it's worth the view... make sure to take water and dress appropriately. And when you come down to try the local ice cream.

Absolute pain in the butt. No information on the trail to say the place is closed. Walk for almost an hour to the entrance, and it's a steep hike. *Only worth going if you want exercise*.

Incredible hike with incredible views. Be prepared to stay hydrated.

Crazy long hike to the top. It's a jungle so bring hiking gear food and water. But it's worth it once you get to the top. And try some ice cream in the little town. This town has lots to do. And plan on arriving early and leaving late. This is not a good hike for kids that are young. Bring lots of water and snacks. Remember to only drink bottle water as well. Check the weather because rain can cause flooding on the mountain. Also bring a portable charger.

Very cool and full of life, vendors and great food, especially on weekends. It's quite the experience, that is for sure.rhe hike up is quite long but very with the effort.

The view is amazing, and previously you could go up and hike to the small mountains that surround the pyramid. However! the Pyramid is currently closed, and they won’t allow you to hike the Cerros or small mountains around the place. The town is amazing so that makes up for some of it.

No sign whatsoever that the pyramid is closed! I would’ve given it a 1, had it not been for the hike, which I enjoyed immensely

Beautiful place to visit! We weren't able to go all the way up due to the pandemic (covid-19) but we'll be back when this pandemic is over..

We made it all the way to the gate but it was closed even doe the website said it was opened. 😭
