Best Time to Visit

If you’re anything like me, you’ll want to experience Casa de Tía Aura when it’s at its spookiest! Evening tours between 6 PM and 9 PM offer the most atmospheric experience – the darkness outside really adds to the creepy vibes inside. But here’s a pro tip: weekday afternoons tend to be less crowded, giving you more time to soak in all the scary details.

October is absolutely incredible here, with special Halloween programming that kicks everything up a notch. Though honestly, any time during the dry season (November through April) works great since you won’t have to worry about getting caught in rain before or after your visit.

How to Get There

Getting to Casa de Tía Aura is pretty straightforward. If you’re taking public transportation, several bus routes stop within walking distance. For those driving, there’s usually plenty of free street parking available nearby – just remember to arrive about 15 minutes early to find a good spot.

I always recommend using a ride-sharing app if you’re visiting at night; it’s the easiest way to get dropped off right at the entrance. Plus, after all those scares, you might not feel like walking too far!

Tips for Visiting

Listen, I learned some of these the hard way, so lemme save you some trouble! First off, wear comfortable shoes – you’ll be standing and walking throughout the experience. And maybe skip that extra cup of coffee beforehand; being jumpy already just makes everything scarier (trust me on this one!).

Bring a light jacket even if it’s warm outside – the air conditioning can get pretty chilly inside. While photos are allowed in certain areas, flash photography is a big no-no as it disrupts the carefully crafted atmosphere.

Book your tickets in advance, especially during peak season or weekends. The tours often sell out, and nobody wants to miss out on all the fun! If you’re bringing kids, consider visiting during daylight hours first to gauge their comfort level with the scares.

Oh, and heads up – the building isn’t wheelchair accessible, so visitors with mobility issues should call ahead to discuss options. For non-Spanish speakers, try to book an English-language tour if available, though the theatrical nature of the performance makes it entertaining regardless of language barriers.

And one last thing – don’t forget to use the restroom before your tour starts. Once you’re in, you’re in for the duration of the experience, and trust me, you won’t wanna miss a single spine-tingling moment!

A friendly reminder: arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled time slot. You definitely don’t wanna be that person who has to enter a dark, spooky room after everyone else is already inside – unless you’re into that extra level of scary!
