First off, get there early! I mean like 8 AM if you can. It was much less crowded then, and I really enjoyed the peace of walking through the ancient ruins without tons of people.

I think you should pack snacks and plenty of water. Food options inside the park are limited and a bit pricey

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! The terrain can be uneven, and trust me, you don’t want to ruin your day limping around.

I think wearing comfy shoes is a must, because you'll be doing a lot of walking on uneven terrain. Trust me, your feet will thank you later!

I recomend getting there around 9 AM to beat the crowds and enjoy the peace while exploring. The early light is also perfect for photos!

Don’t rush it! Take your time and wander through the caves and pathways. I wished I had spent more time soaking in the views instead of just snapping quick pics.
