Once upon a time, you could visit Chichen Itza’s grand pyramids and climb the steps, surveying the land as people hundreds of years ago did. You could duck into the structures to explore where people prayed and touch the ancient stones. However, due to the steadily increasing number of tourists, Mexico has officially closed off Chichen Itza for walking purposes.
Well, that’s the official explanation. Word on the street says that people kept tagging the places with graffiti. Maybe that will be cool in another few hundred years, but for now, we say thanks for ruining it for everyone else guys!
