Chichen Itza was one of the most powerful cities during Mayan civilization. Sophisticated and highly decorative architecture built with mathematical and astronomical brilliance by the Maya, without any of the modern technology or tools at their disposal is simply astonishing. An estimated 1.5 million people visit this city of ancient Mayan ruins every year, which makes it a popular and busiest archeological sites in Mexico. It was elected one of the New seven wonders of the world in the year 2007.

And all the ruins were roped off no longer allowing visitors to climb on them or enter the chambers.

That´s too bad for the visitors, I suppose, but the ruins will last longer. I visited earlier when it was still possible to climb up the ruins on the outside, and the inside! That was before computers, so don´t go looking for my blog.

I´m curious, did your guide, or guide book, say anything about growing cacao in the cenotes?
