Museo Panteón de Belén — Attraction in Jalisco

I just came back from a 9 pm tour. We arrived there 10 minutes early, we were the last people in line (there was a group of about 50 people in total). We bought our tickets there, you can’t buy them online. At 8:55 pm, our tour guide, George, came down the line and let us know to form a single line, have our tickets ready to show at the door, to not be chewing gum and only water is allowed inside.

Once we were all inside, he explained there are 5 rules to be respectful of the tour. 1. Do not touch anything, this also includes leaning. 2. No cell phone use at night, this includes flashlights or taking pictures. You can buy mini flashlights in the front of the panteón. 3. No chewing gum/food and only bring water 4. Be respectful and mindful of not speaking while the tour guide is speaking. You can speak while you walk to the next stop of the tour. 5. Be respectful of the deceased.

The tour lasted up to an hour. George shared a lot of historical info and also shared some paranormal stories. There are two stops in the tour that you can pray and provide an offering. The second stop is of the little boy, so if you want to provide an offering you can provide toys or candy.

Overall, it was a great experience & I learned a lot about Guadalajara’s culture and history. Taking the night tour was a little spooky but nothing scary, especially since we were a big group. George was great!

Also, the tour is done in Spanish, of course, because we are in Mexico. So don’t get pissy and leave a low star rating, you are visiting and need to understand that you may need to use a translator device, or share this info first with the tour guide prior to the tour starting to see if they can provide any...

My visit was great. I learned that a notable American is buried along perhaps some free masons and some other foreign personages. Our guide let us know that that the buildings design incorporates mason's rules and traditions. For example the columns represent the marks on a mason's square. I especially liked the echo display at the corner of the building. Take one step forward and you hear the echo, take one step back and you don't. Very interesting and full of information. I cannot remember half of the hour and so tour. They have night tours as well where they dwell in more detail on the myths and stories about the people buried there. Too bad I did not have enough time for the night run. The only drawback is the museum is only slowly getting maintained. I only wish it would be in better repair. Good visit thought with a lot of interesting points. Don't forget to buy your tickets at the little window to the right of the main gate. They charge extra for the use of the camera inside. No flash is allowed to preserve the building and no touching of surfaces or wondering around. They stated they had to do that because some visitors painted graffiti while other broke things. Despite the restrictions the guide was great and you can wonder a little as long as you are near your main group. Ticket prices are very reasonable. My tour was...

I read some reviews and want to clarify some things: tour times are on the internet. Ticket prices are clear, though they should sell a student ticket with photo privileges. The police officer guard was strict, but he is protecting the site, which is more important than your feelings. It is not supposed to be scary, it's a historical tour. The guide I had was excellent and knowledgeable. You could tell that he was sincere and cares for the property. He didn't speak English during the tour, but I did notice that I was in Mexico, so that didn't bother me. Overall a very interesting tour I will do again, as soon as that big tree...
