Cultur will not charge any fee for the use of cell phones and tablets at tourist sites
The fees for the use of devices, whether professional or not, in archaeological zones, are the responsibility of the Federal Government
Mérida, Yucatán, June 19, 2024. In response to the reports circulating in various media and on social networks about a new $60 fee at archaeological sites for taking photos with cell phones or tablets, this department wishes to make the following clarification: It is not within Cultur's powers to apply any fee for the use of the aforementioned mobile devices, as the archaeological sites are under the responsibility and custody of the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). In the tourist stops, which are under our administration, no fee has ever been applied or will be applied for the use of cameras or any other device. It is well known that, for some years now, the collection of fees for the use of cameras or professional devices has been the responsibility of INAH, and according to information we have received, they will now charge $60 for the use of non-professional mobile devices such as cell phones or tablets. Therefore, for more information on this issue, it will have to be addressed with INAH.
