Chichen Itza

It was difficult to find interesting photos that weren't full of tourists. I've wanted to visit this site for years and really wish I'd gotten a chance before now. Gone are the days when you could watch sunrise from atop El Castillo.

The place was crowded and insanely commercial. The iconic temples were roped off and surrounded by guards. At one point, I counted twenty-seven large touring buses in the parking lot - engines idling for the air-conditioned comfort of the driver, of course, creating even more smog and heat. Here a a few of the quieter, more evocative corners.
