    How fortunate to see this after 5pm. I tried to go in January 2021. I made it to the entrance at 4.30pm. It was closed for the day.
    No more after-hours passes are issued, but the merchants are still there selling items for people lingering around the exit, or waiting for a ride back to town.

    I was fortunate to climb the temple back in 2006. There were iguanas all over the place including on the steps as you climbed the stairs.

      @@rachaulbermudez Hi, I was just there last once again last year Oct before covid. I recommend your bus from Cancun, they are everywhere and prob cheaper than going by yourself. They also take you to local restaurants and sites. This past year there were not as many iguanas like in 2006 and the people soliciting has grown out of control. But the pyramids are still magnificent and the history behind it. I hope this helps : )

    When I visited Chichen Itza, our tour guy mention that people are not allowed to go on top of the pyramid because many have died in that past (including archeologist). You have to come down the pyramid like a zig zag (that is how the Mayans did it), it has to do with how steep the stairs were made.

The other cool thing is that the acoustics in that complex are perfect. Our guide made us walk back about 60 ft and then clapped, and we heard it as if it was behind us

    Great video. I'm heading there in a few months. Thanks for the details. FYI -- a cenote is part of an underground network of streams created by the shock wave of the KT Event (that, in part, killed the dinosaurs). The cenotes are connected and if you follow their shape, you can they pepper the crest of what used to be the crater of that impact.

      I can't say for sure, it really depends on what you're in the mood for. Both awesome places to travel but very different. I would just keep watching videos of both countries and do some reading research, etc. to decide what sounds more interesting to you.

    Dear Mexico Mayan,
    I really don't know much about your culture and history. I still don't know what your belief was. In general speaking I sometimes feel your people so hard to communicate with. Is because you people proud of yourself too much of your own liberal which is a little different others. Can someone answer me? I speak from what I believe. And I hope someone will receive my humanity voice message to be conscience good human.
