Tips for Tourists

Best Time to Visit:
The May Pyramid is accessible 24 hours a day, but it is recommended to visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate its architecture and the surrounding attractions. Early mornings or late afternoons offer the best lighting for photography and a quieter experience.
What to See:
Don’t miss the statues surrounding the pyramid, which were reinstalled during the last restoration in 2018. These statues, along with the pyramid’s intricate ornaments, provide a glimpse into Argentina’s artistic heritage.
Photography:
For the best photos, consider visiting at sunrise or sunset when the soft light enhances the features of the monument. The pyramid, set against the backdrop of the historic Plaza de Mayo, creates a picturesque scene.

What Not to Miss

Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo:
Look for the white kerchiefs painted on the ground around the pyramid. These represent the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, a group of women who protested against the disappearance of their children during Argentina’s military dictatorship. Their legacy is a poignant reminder of the country’s recent history.
Casa Rosada:
The iconic pink government building, located adjacent to the plaza, is a must-see. It has been the site of many significant political events and offers guided tours that delve into Argentina’s political history.
Metropolitan Cathedral:
Situated near the pyramid, this neoclassical cathedral is another important historical site. It is worth exploring for its architecture and the tomb of General José de San Martín, a key figure in Argentina’s independence.
