Customer Reviews
I completely agree with all comments, it's a wonderful experience and place. Both the center of interpretation and the ruins are beautiful. But, nobody say it's not free... 12000 pesos for the entire site.
Sept.25: After a scenic drive we arrived @Ruins of Quilmes. We paid entrance fee of ARS12.000 = €7.50 p.p. This was for museum, archeological site as well as for the perfectly clean toilets with even the possibility to have clean drinking water. Fernanda who spoke really good English explained the 4 rooms of the museum. Nr. 3 would have an interactive video in about 15 minutes & would telll us all about the histtory, living, war, defeat & captivation of the Quilmes people. Nr. 1 & 2 were informative with headphones for English, Spanish or Portuguese. Nr.4 was an exhibition of artifacts. @site there were huge cacti. We went all the way up to the Northern viewpoint; we spend here a bit more than 3 hours.
An incredible place to visit and learn about the magnificent culture and history of the Quilmes. There is a great museum on-site with artifacts in several exhibitions and some interactive displays too. A great, short movie detailing the Quilmes is shown throughout the day. Outside of the museum are the ruins, a mixture of reconstructed works and original structures. It is wonderful to explore the ruins and climb high onto the mountain they called home. Toilets, shops and some basic eateries can be found outside. Entrance fees vary depending on nationality, with foreigners paying a little more but very reasonably priced. They accept both cash and card. Definitely worth a trip here.
