Mexico raises entry fees at Teotihuacán and other archaeological sites in 2026
Entry fees at several archaeological sites in Mexico have risen as of January 1, 2026. The increases apply to major locations, including Teotihuacán, one of the country’s most popular tourist destinations. Despite the changes, free admission on Sundays remains for Mexican nationals and residents at all listed sites.
Teotihuacán, which attracted over 1.8 million visitors in 2025, now charges Mexican nationals 105 pesos and foreign tourists 210 pesos. This marks a 5-peso increase for all visitors. The site is now among the most expensive in the State of Mexico.
Other archaeological zones have also raised their fees. Calixtlahuaca, Malinalco, Los Melones, Santa Cecilia, and Tenayuca I now cost more to enter. Similarly, the Open Chapel of Tlalmanalco, Acolman Ex-Convent, and Oxtotipac Ex-Convent have increased their admission prices.
Certain groups remain exempt from these fees. Teachers, students, seniors, and registered tourist guides can still enter INAH sites for free with valid identification. Free entry on Sundays continues for all Mexican nationals and residents at the affected locations.
No further price increases have been reported for other archaeological sites in the State of Mexico in 2026.
The new fees apply to both domestic and international visitors at key historical sites. Exemptions remain in place for eligible groups, and Sunday access stays free for Mexican nationals. The changes reflect updated pricing policies for 2026.
