Mexico: Chichen Itza: The Pyramid

Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World Heritage listed site, was one of the highlight tourist place in Mexico.
The Mayan pyramid was not that big, like Teotihuacan near Mexico City, but the shape was impressive.
And the complex was quite big, including a court for the deadly football game.
Unfortunately, just a few months back, they forbid visitors to climb up the pyramid with the reasons of vandalism, pee, and fall.
