What to bring...

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a hat because it will get hot and there isn't much shade at the ruins.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: You will want to bring plenty of water when walking around the ancient ruins. There is lots of space to cover and it gets HOT!

Photo Equipment: Bring plenty of film!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Sunscreen may be a good idea.
