Is there a dress code for Teotihuacan?

Make sure you're wearing comfortable clothes and shoes. If you're planning to climb the pyramids, I might recommend against jeans. (That's just me.) Unlike other ancient sites I've visited — I'm looking at you, Angkor Wat — there is no dress code, so feel free to wear shorts and sleeveless tops.

Chichen Itza has no official dress code, but don't wear anything with offensive language or that is too revealing. Keep in mind that this is one of the most important archeological sites from Mayan culture, so you should act and dress respectfully during your visit.
