Step 1
Tourism access closed
CONANP’s total closure covers the crater, Lagunas del Sol and de la Luna, ascent trails, and surrounding trails until further notice. Do not travel there to attempt entry.
Step 2
Security checkpoint / turnback
State security filters, inspections, and patrols prevent entry by foot, bicycle, or off-road vehicle; authorities turn visitors back rather than process tickets.
There is no accessible visitor route while the area is closed. Historically, access involved a dirt-road approach and steep, loose, uneven high-altitude crater terrain, with no published step-free route, lift, or wheelchair-accessible lake viewpoint.
