Site-specific notes 4
Taken from the "don'ts" on each site page here. Open a site for its full etiquette and background.
Nazca Lines
- Never walk into the lines area (a single step destroys a thousand-year-old site — a serious crime)
- small planes easily cause airsickness, so bring medication.
Peruvian ceviche
- Don't order ceviche in the evening (locals eat it at lunch)
- don't pour away the leftover leche de tigre — ask for a small glass to drink it
Sacsayhuamán
- Don't climb or sit on the wall's boulders
- don't take stones away
- don't casually photograph local people in traditional dress — ask first (a tip may be expected)
