Protected Chichen Itza Pyramid Of Mexico

The Chichen Itza Pyramid of Mexico is one of the largest attractions in the world. Thousands of tourists flock to the country to see the wonder of the exquisite Mayan pyramid! However, you can only admire from a distance; climbing the actual steps is forbidden.

The restrictions are part of a security measure and were enforced when a woman in 2006 tumbled to her demise from the pyramid’s steps. To avoid similar unfortunate events from occurring, the steps of the pyramid are sealed for the visitors. Tourists who violate this law are penalized heavily by the authorities.
