What to expect

You'll navigate the ruins on foot with your guide, stopping at significant structures to hear detailed explanations of how people lived, worked, and gathered in this frozen moment of history. Expect to cover ground steadily—the site is substantial and you'll be moving between buildings. Your guide can pivot the route if you want to linger longer at particular houses, forums, or temples. The walking is moderate but uneven underfoot, so sturdy shoes help.
