Justin Bieber tried to climb a 13th-century Mayan ruin. Mexican officials were not impressed.
Good tourist etiquette in Mexico does not involve stomping all over delicate cultural relics, in case you were wondering.
That's just what Canadian singer Justin Bieber allegedly tried to do while visiting the historic Mayan city of Tulum, Mexico on Thursday, the Associated Press reports. Unsurprisingly, Bieber and his entourage were "asked to leave" after the singer apparently tried to clamber onto one of the structures at the site, an anonymous Mexican official said.
This isn't the first time Bieber has gotten into trouble in Latin America. Previously, he's been charged with assault in Argentina and with spraying graffiti in Brazil.
