Mayan ruins & photography rules

Hi all,

I know that you can't take photos in your wedding clothes at the ruins but I don't think I have ever read what the actual rules are or where they come from. Does anyone know where to find this info? I would love to read the what you can and cannot photographer at the ruins. Thanks, Carla

Hi Carla,

Mexico's archeological zones are the responsibly of the INAH, the National Institute of Anthropology and History. The Federal Law on Historic and Artistic Monuments and Archaeologic Zones might be what you are looking for.

In English, how cool is that? There is a lot of good info on the different ruins, museums, etc, on the INAH site by the way. I am constantly amazed but the wealth and diversity of art, culture and history here in Mexico!
