I have been to Chichen Itza about 4 times over the years. It has the most beautifully preserved pyramid and many other wonderful buildings, including the observatory and ball court. I notice that there are no people climbing the pyramid in your images. In the past, people were allowed to climb. Do they still allow that?
The pyramid has an entry at ground level and you then go up via super narrow winding stairs leading to a chamber with a jade jaguar. I did that once, but never see that mentioned in anything about the pyramid. One time we were there in a super super hot day with no clouds and the next minute we were in a torrential downpour that soaked us all to our bones and ruined my camera. Great archeological site.

A tourist took a tumble a few years ago and didn't recover. Climbing the steps no longer allowed. I would not have done it anyway; very steep!
