Beautiful location! It is a tough climb, take breaks, take your time, and enjoy the views!

I've been wanting to climb up this archaeological site for ten years. Finally had the chance today. I turned 69 few months ago and have a bad knee. This didn't stop me. The "walk" was tough. I saw many with young children and few seniors. Most of the crowd appeared 30's to 40's. Bring two bottles of water and sip along the way. There are plenty of places to sit and catch your breath. Up top has an excellent view of Tepoztlán. The trip took me 4 hours round trip. That's from my parking spot and back.

This is a really lovely hike that’s accessible to most levels. It’s of average steepness and the view is well worth it at the top! It took me around 60 mins to get up and 40 mins to get down (32 year old male).

Remember the altitude. Other than that this is a great experience.

The walk was great, although a bit demanding, it is a great work out, but it deserves the effort!

If you can go as early as possible (opening time is 9), it will be quiet and peaceful. It'll be so early that the markets at the beginning of the route won't be open yet. The hike up is challenging so you do need a basic level of fitness but it is so worth it. The pyramid is small but don't let that put you off. It's a piece of history which is preserved and tells us more about this world and for only 100 pesos entry, it's well looked after. The most beautiful part of this is the view that you are rewarded after your hike. Highlight of my time here.

The hike is strenuous, prepare in advance. Takes 3-4 hours to complete the whole trek. You will gain almost 2000 feet (600 meters) while going up. The trek is 1.4 miles (2 kms) one way. Keep 100 pesos per person, they take the entrance ticket just before the pyramid. Overall its a very nice hike with beautiful view at the top.

A beautiful place to visit the egg is very pleasant and the view from the top is stunning. I would recommend anyone to go there, the hike is a bit tough but it’s worth it. Take good shoes and water

Tip: the iron fence and last part of this amazing hike closes every day at 16:00. The entrance, if you want to see the pyramid and the part with the most beautiful view costs 100 pesos and is free for children and elderly (60+). On Sunday it's free for all Mexicans. There is a huge difference in amount of people between weekends and weekdays, both experiences are worth it. If you like a lot of people, with music, high heels, alcohol and atmosphere, weekends are really cool! If you like the "nature" and chill vibe more, please consider a week day experience; you are welcome;)!

I had been eagerly anticipating the opportunity to write this review once I had the chance. Perhaps I wasn’t paying close enough attention, but it seemed like nowhere was it mentioned that the path to this archaeological site takes approximately two hours if you’re not particularly fit. It’s genuine rough terrain—true hiking. According to my data, to reach the summit where the pyramid is located, you need to ascend about 400 meters vertically, which is roughly equivalent to climbing a 130-story building on foot. So, please keep this in mind, and most importantly, it seems that, judging by the number of people there—including small children being carried and elderly individuals—very few are actually aware of what lies ahead. Well, now you know. As for the archaeological site itself, to be honest, it’s probably not worth the climb, at least not more than once. There are a lot of people, and the charm of a secluded mountaintop spot dissipates. However, the pyramid stands right on the edge of a cliff, and behind it is a steep drop, reminiscent of the scene in the movie “From Dusk Till Dawn,” where the bar is revealed to be an ancient temple, and vampires would toss bodies and cars down below. This could have served as a prototype for that scene in the film. You can climb onto the pyramid, by the way, but the archaeological zone itself isn’t all that impressive. I must say, the ascent was quite a surprise, and don’t forget that you also have to descend, which isn’t exactly easy either. Oh, and at the end, they’ll charge you 100 pesos for visiting the area, of course. Overall, it’s pretty cool; everyone takes photos and is happy they made it. Those still climbing can be encouraged as you descend. So, it’s alright.
