Teotihuacan's Pyramid of the Moon Reopens to Public After Conservation Teotihuacan, Mexico – The Pyramid of the Moon, a significant archaeological site in Teotihuacan, Mexico, has reopened to the public after months of extensive conservation work. The Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH) announced the reopening on May 19th, 2025, allowing visitors access to the first level of the structure. The decision to reopen the pyramid comes after a period of careful restoration and improvement of safety measures. "The goal is to offer visitors a more complete and safe experience," stated an INAH representative in a recent press release. The video footage shows many visitors ascending the pyramid's steps, highlighting the site's renewed accessibility. However, access remains limited to the first level. INAH officials emphasize the importance of visitor responsibility to protect the ancient structure. "We urge visitors to respect the established safety measures," an INAH spokesperson said. "This includes wearing comfortable shoes, and avoiding running, jumping, or any activities that could damage the monument." The video visually demonstrates the scale and grandeur of the Pyramid of the Moon, underscoring the need for careful preservation. The reopening of the Pyramid of the Moon is a testament to Mexico's commitment to preserving its rich cultural heritage while also making these historical sites accessible to the public. This initiative aims to balance tourism with the responsible safeguarding of pre-Hispanic structures for future generations to appreciate.
