That I don't know. But a monopod is small enough that it would be worthwhile to try.

Thank you for all the useful info. If you have anything else to share about the Yucatan, I would love to hear it..

Now I am wondering whether to take both the Speed Graphic and the Wisner with me. Moving the lenses back and forth would be a pain, but the Wisner has so many more movements, whereas the Speed Graphic is quicker to set up.

Any thoughts on that?

Bring both of them, there are other small sites around the big ones that either are not managed by the INAH, are managed but have no personel or are simply ignored by most people and tourists so you get a chance to use the tripod. Better to have the camera and not use it than wanting to use it and not have it..

Anyone who is looking for some great landscape photography locations in Mexico will get a good idea of the diversity of the country from taking a look at the work of the photographer Marte at the skyscraper city forum.
It looks like he is working exlclusively in colour and I'm not sure if its large format or not, but its a wonderful record of a beautiful country.
