Walking up the Chechen Itza Pyramid was a wonderful experience although coming down was a little frightening. I hear that you cannot climb it any more. It is dangerous for a person without common sense. There are no rails to keep you from stepping off. My husband and the rest of our group chose not to go up.
PurplePandora Whne we went to Chizen Itza I climbed the pyramid but now it is closed and no one can climb up. It was not bad climbing up and even walking around at the top, but coming down was difficult. I climbed down backwards. I just could not look out and climb down. They had a rope to hold onto. It was definitely worth the climb.
Just fascinating to learn about the old cultures and how they did some of the stone masonry so well - and also to understand some of the symbolism and rituals - would love to visit them.
