In different countries of the world, there are ruins of various buildings in the cities and surrounding areas, which nowadays have become tourist sites par excellence. These places are full of history, symbolism and mystery that attract visitors to them.
You can see ruins in Mexico, Peru, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Egypt as well as in all the countries of the world, since they are all worthy of admiration and exploration. However, when visiting this type of sites, it is important to take into account some very useful recommendations for a successful visit.
When visiting a ruin you must be careful where you walk, as these buildings have a lot of antiquity and are often very fragile. You must also follow the recommendations and instructions of each place. These sites usually have places that are open for the public and others with restricted access, so you should stay in areas identified as public.
In archaeological zones there are usually different places to enter and exit, so that access is easy and the route is fluid. For this reason, it is recommended to follow the indications of the place to avoid getting lost. Whatever the case, look for a guide who can show you the way.
It is common for archaeological sites to be located in areas near the cities and not within them, and they usually have few shady spots to shelter from the sun, so we recommend that you use a good sunscreen and a hat to protect your head, in addition to sunglasses and a good supply of liquids.
It is also advisable to carry something in your bag to eat, since in this type of archaeological sites food is found at a much higher price than in the city.
Avoid carrying very large backpacks, take something small in which you can store your camera, food, drink and a jacket in case the weather changes. It is quite common not to allow access to archaeological sites with very large backpacks, in which case you must leave them at the entrance.
The archaeological ruins are in most cases, sacred places that have a very special meaning for their inhabitants, therefore you must be respectful of the place and avoid the prohibited areas. Do not touch anything that you are not allowed to touch. Do not litter or do drawings or writing in the site.
Wear comfortable clothes, since in this type of route you will walk long distances for many hours, so proper shoes will avoid giving you a hard time.
These visits to archaeological sites are not fun for young children, but if your children are older, take the tour to explain the history and interesting facts about the place to them.
Carrying a camera is the ideal way to take a souvenir of the place, however keep in mind that there are places where you are not allowed to take pictures and that is clearly indicated.
Finally, we recommend that you make an itinerary with the sites to visit or hire a tourist guide service to make your trip an unforgettable experience.
