Visiting archaeological sites is a popular activity for tourists. These tips will help you prepare and get the most out of your visit.

Dress appropriately
Wear comfortable shoes because you may be climbing pyramids or walking on treacherous ground, sneakers or hiking boots are your best bet. The sun may be very strong, so it’s a good idea to cover up and wear a hat and sunglasses.

Read up a little before you go
A little bit of background reading can go a long way to help you understand what you’re seeing. You should at least be aware of the different cultures – do you know the Mayas from the Aztecs?

Hire a guide
Having a guide book is good, but hiring a local guide will allow you to get a lot more out of your visit. Make sure your guide has a license.
