Can anyone tell me what days the museum at La Chole is open and if one day is better than an other to see the pyramid?

I believe it's open every day from 8 to 5. I'm unaware of why any day would be better than another to visit the restored pyramid. Local guides are usually available to answer questions. I recommend going before 2 in the afternoon since that is when traditional comida and siesta time is and locals may become scarce as they eat and seek out a hammock.

Thank you Rob. We went a couple of years ago and the pyramid was closed that day so that is why I asked.

Since the pyramid is just a restoration, as far as I know people aren't allowed on it, just near it, and it's only a few steps from the road. Personally I find the museum and restored ball court more interesting.

Hi Heather,
I did a quick search putting INAH before Soledad Maciel (INAH is in Spanish: Instituto Nacional de Antro[pología e Historia). Here it is: La Chole - INAH
According to this one, opening hours are Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 6pm. There is also a phone number and two email addresses in case you want to reach out.

I am not entirely sure how current is the information posted there - it says June 2015.

Please post pictures if you visit.

Best.
B

In January of 2015 we were led up to the top of the pyramid by the guide. Interesting stuff up there too.

Thank you BL. I will post pictures in mid May when I get back to the states, Last time we went we got to go up on the pyramid but the time before no. We are going today so I will post if we get to go up this time. It was very interesting, a lot to see up there.
