Steps on the Pyramid of the Sun
The Pyramid of the Sun has 248 steps on its west side. As of 2020, one can no longer climb the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan due to a prohibition by INAH (the National Institute of Anthropology and History) to preserve the site and ensure visitor safety, owing to the dangerous and steep steps.

Climbing Up and Coming Down
Authorities closed the Pyramid of the Moon to climbers in March 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, and kept it closed while INAH completed work to conserve the structure. Climbing the pyramid was permitted on May 19, 2025, following conservation and improvement work aimed at ensuring visitor safety.
Access is only permitted to the top of the first section, which consists of five platforms and 47 steps. The upper levels remain closed to preserve the physical integrity of the monument.
La Fortuna Waterfall
La Fortuna Waterfall is in central Costa Rica. In Spanish, it is known as Catarata Fortuna. The waterfall drops about 70−75 meters and is at the base of the dormant Chato volcano, near the Arenal. The waterfall is one of the must-see attractions in the La Fortuna area and the waterfall hike, about 500 steps down and then back up, is well worth the effort. Attractive rest stops along the steps allow for necessary respite.
