Can I climb to the top of the large pyramid in Chichen Itza?
The large pyramid in Chichen Itza is called “El Castillo” or “The Castle,” and NO you are no longer allowed to climb it. There is a safety issue as so many people have climbed the pyramid that the steps have been worn extremely smooth. So in the interest of safety – since the steps are extremely steep and extremely smooth – you will not be allowed to climb to the top.
