💡 Free entry, but avoid mass times (7am and 7pm) if you want to take photos. Check the small side chapel with the main altar's original paintings.
💡 Walk it early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat and catch the best light for photos. The free walking tour runs from the main plaza at 9am.
💡 Go for a late lunch around 1-2pm, when the stalls have just restocked. The best cochinita is from stall number 7. Bring cash, as cards aren't widely accepted.
💡 On Sunday evenings from 7pm, there's a free traditional jarana dance session you can watch or join. Grab a marquesita from a street vendor near the entrance.
💡 Entry is 50 pesos (about £2). Visit on a weekday when there are fewer visitors. Ask at the ticket desk if any live trova sessions are happening that afternoon.
