Mexico's pre-Hispanic ruin sites have begun re-opening to tourists for the first time since they were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic in March.

The ancient sites hadn't seemed so lonely since they were abandoned centuries ago. The few hundred visitors who will be allowed into most sites must line up for limited tickets, get their temperatures checked, wear face masks, get a dose of hand sanitizing gel and stay 1.5 yards from each other. Admission will be limited to just 30 per cent of the sites' capacities.

"We had this trip planned since last year," Gonzalez said. "We had the package and everything else, but unfortunately due to the contingency we had to postpone it until now." Ramon Alvarez Negrete set up his handicrafts for sale at a spot along the Causeway of the Dead, a broad stone-paved boulevard that runs between the pyramids. Alvarez Negrete said it had been a hard five months with the site closed.

The staggered opening times for archaeological sites across the country have proved confusing for some visitors. There is no single day for reopening, which is in part dependent on making sure adequate preparations are in place and pandemic conditions in each part of the country."I looked up on internet what places are open, the most emblematic places in this zone, and I found out that they open today," he said.
