Archeological Forbidden Sites That Are Truly Wonderful

The Lascaux cave and its famous prehistoric paintings have been closed to tourists since 1967. Today, many popular archeological sites are partially restricted or, in some cases, completely off-limits to tourists.
The famous Inca site has been suffering for years under the weight of its huge popularity. As of 2019, visitors must be accompanied by a guide and must only use trails designated by the Peruvian government and UNESCO. In 2016, this high-altitude, five-hectare (12-acre) South American historic property was added to UNESCO’s list of endangered World Heritage sites.
These famous Mayan ruins are still accessible to visitors, but if your goal is to climb the steps of El Castillo, the 30-metre (98-foot) pyramid, forget it. A formal ban against climbing the structure was introduced after a woman fell to her death in 2006. Too bad for those who wanted to admire the throne room inside.
