I have been to many holy sites in the US, Mexico, and Italy and this is a unique place. There’s a sense of excitement, inclusion, and being humbled in this place. Even on a weekday there are a lot of people so bring cash for lunch and vendors, sunscreen, and come with time to spend. I recommend if possible buy items like rosaries prior to entering the church so you can have them on hand when the friars bless the people with holy water. Note that depending on where you park to enter there could be a lot of stairs. Unfortunately the parking offering the shortest walk and least amount of stairs will be closest to the packed busy town. Parking lots are not really marked well so be on the lookout.
