What people say

"Guachimontones is an ancient archeological site located in the state of Jalisco, Mexico, and is known for its unique circular pyramids. The site was built by the pre-Columbian civilization of the Teuchitlan and is believed to have been used for religious ceremonies and rituals. Today, visitors can explore the site and learn about its fascinating history. The cost to enter is 30 pesos per person. The ticket includes walking around the ruins site and a museum. In the museum, you can find a Spanish-only intro video, art exhibits, history of the indigenous peoples, and painting renders to demonstrate what the ruins looked like in their time. In the museum, you can also find a small gift shop where you can buy water. I went in March and it was very hot. The ruins were brown, and the grass was dead. There is very little shade. The best time to visit Guachimontones would be in the rainy season- June, July, and August. During those months, you'll find very green ruins. There is not a lot of infrastructure here. The best way to visit is with a tour which will provide transportation directly to the ruins. You might consider a joint tour between Guachimontones and Tequila as they are in the same general area."
