💡 Recommendations

Tour the place unhurriedly and always respect the marked trails to preserve the ruins.
Wear very comfortable and closed shoes, as you will be walking uphill on dirt and rocks.
Protect yourself from the Andean sun with a hat and sunscreen, and stay hydrated by bringing plenty of water.
Never climb on the walls or roofs; they are unstable reconstructions of heritage value.
