We stopped at Chichen Itza as part of a tour package. We didn't arrive until about 3 p.m. and it was very hot - and crowded. We had the slowest and most boring guide imaginable so my wife and I broke away from the group and saw as much as we could in the two hours we were there.
I was at Chichen Itza several times in the 1990s - back then you could climb to the top of El Castillo and other structures but now pretty much everything is roped off. No climbing and it's actually hard to see a lot of the carvings.
All in all it was a good trip but next time we'll go independently .
I took these photos in February 2017.
