Iwould advise you to wear good shoes when visiting Yaxchilan ruins. You'll need a good grip. The place can be very muddy and slippery. To get to some parts you'll nearly have to climb and those tree roots can get dangerous too.
And If possible, cover yourself as much as possible. Jungle is home to many love-to-bite insects. I was like red-dotted dalmatian an the end of the day.

So, if you are sleeping in a hammock (like I did), don't fall out (I didn't :-P)
