President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct four new temples in the Mexico City metropolitan area. During his closing remarks at the 192nd Semiannual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints he explained, "We are also planning to build multiple temples in selected large metropolitan areas where travel time to an existing temple is a major challenge."[1] In his announcement of eighteen new temple locations, he also included Cuernavaca (which is located about 50 miles south of Mexico City), Toluca (which is about 40 miles west of Mexico City), and Tula (which is about 60 miles north of Mexico City).

The Mexico City Mexico Temple was dedicated in 1983, and the Mexico City Benemerito Mexico Temple was announced in April 2022.

The Pachuca Mexico Temple will be located in Pachuca, about about 75 miles northeast of Mexico City. The temple will be the first in the state of Hidalgo. Pachuca, formally known as Pachuca de Soto, is the capital and largest city in Hidalgo with a population of about 277,000.[2]

Location

The Pachuca Mexico Temple is currently in the planning stages. No location has been announced by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
