Tips and recommendations to properly visit historical ruins

Ancient ruins

Here are a series of tips and recommendations that you should carry out if you want to have a pleasant visit to any historical ruin. They should not be taken lightly, and if not, pay attention:

  • Do not lean, do not touch, do not step: In many of these ruins, it is requested not to touch or step on, since they are so many years old that any footprint could cause catastrophic damage to the ruin. Respect what has been preserved for so many years ...
  • Respect both the entrances and the exits in the different monuments. There are many ancient ruins that have dozens of doors. If you want a well-organized visit and not miss anything inside it, respect the doors that are exit to exit and those that are entry to enter. It has no greater mystery.
  • Have respect for what has been standing for so many years. Although they are ruins, respect their construction: no gum, no garbage, etc. And very important: "wherever you go, do what you see." Respect each culture and its traditions.
  • Wear comfortable shoes and clothes: Going visiting ruins does not require gala clothing so take the most comfortable you have, both in shoes and clothes, and go out to explore.
  • Take photos of what impresses you the most about each ruin. Ruins are places that we see very from time to time, since the most normal thing is to visit current cities where they are scarce or simply not there, so take a souvenir with you in the form of a photo.
  • Hire a tour guide if you want to know in depth the history of each ruin.

Happy journey!
