El Cerrito Archaeological Zone — Attraction in Querétaro

Really nice museum, very friendly and helpful staff. I speak enough Spanish to negotiate the site and understand most of the museum information. Entrance fee was 75 pesos today. You don't need more than an hour here, unless you want to read every last bit of information in the museum. They do provide a guided tour, but when I arrived the guide was busy, so I wasn't able to have a tour. I was told that they can do the tour in English. The five minute walk from the museum to the site winds through a nice desert garden.

Getting to the site was quite the adventure. I planed to take the bus, but upon arriving at the main Alameda bus station I was told to go on a different bus than I had planned. Even though I confirmed that I wanted to go to El Cerrito Museum and site. When I realized I was being taken in the complete opposite direction, I got off the bus and called an Uber. From near the old train station to the pyramid took about 30 minutes and cost 130 pesos There are several restaurants around the area. The return journey by bus was much easier, as I took my intended bus to return. The city has been re-organizing the bus routes and changing route numbers, so anything older than 6 to 12 months may have incorrect information regarding the roots and...

My partner found this great landmark while searching online for something to do during our two months in Queretaro. We went the first time but it was closed, so we returned a week later when it re-opened. The hours are very limited - they close at 2pm, but the entry was free. When we went we were the ONLY ONES THERE! We had the whole park to ourselves asides from the workers working in the gardens. Unfortunately, the museum was closed and we were told it would remain closed for probably another month. Because of Covid-19, strict prevention protocols must be followed. Absolutely no outside food or beverages are allowed inside and you must have a face covering at ALL TIMES. We spent about 90 minutes wandering the grounds, taking photos, and reading the information provided. After your visit, I highly recommend walking over to the Callejon Calzada de Los Ancestros en route to the Monument to the Virgin of El Pueblito - about a 30 minute walk away. The neighborhood is safe and the views are INCREDIBLE (see my photos). Look up these places on Google Maps and follow the walking directions. Overall, it was a nice visit. I wish the museum had been open, but we can return another time...

Another beautiful archaeological site. There is limited on street parking near the entrance however there is a parking lot to the southwest of the pyramid on Calle Camino Al Cerrito. I can’t remember how much the cost was but it was around 40 pesos. There is a little bit of a walk to enter the front entrance, but it’s manageable. You have the option of doing a guided tour. We did not do this during our visit however, there was a group of students that were there and it seemed as the guide was giving them a lot of in-depth information. The museum on site had good information. The walk to where you’re able to see the whole pyramid wasn’t too bad and a small incline, but it was very manageable. The path around the archaeological site takes you to a couple of different sites. All very manageable. I would recommend...
