What can't you bring to Chichen Itza?

Here is a list of things that are prohibited at Chichen Itza:

  • Drones: Drones are not allowed unless you have explicit permission from INAH for research purposes
  • Large bags: Very large bags are not permitted, and staff reserve the right to inspect your belongings
  • Professional photography equipment: Tripods and professional camera equipment are not allowed unless you pay the corresponding fee at the special ticket office located at the entrance
  • Pets: There is wildlife in the area that is very territorial, so no pets of any kind are allowed.
  • Speakers: This is a cultural heritage site, and loud noise can be disruptive to other visitors
  • Wedding dresses: If you are planning a professional photo shoot, unfortunately, wearing a wedding dress for this purpose is not permitted
  • Food: Bringing food is not allowed to prevent litter and avoid issues with local wildlife. Only water is permitted
  • Finally, it's important to stay on the designated paths. Leaving the trails can cause you to get lost in the jungle
What's prohibited from being done at Chichen Itza?

It is strictly forbidden to climb the buildings at Chichen Itza. Doing so will result in very high fines

Things to Consider

When you pass through the security turnstile, if the guards suspect erratic behavior, they can perform a more thorough search of all your belongings. Based on their criteria, if they feel you could pose a danger to the structures or disturb other people, they reserve the right to deny you access to the archaeological site

Conclusions

You should consider that Chichen Itza is a strategic location with a great deal of cultural heritage. The guards are there to protect the buildings from vandalism and people who do not respect the archaeological site or make other visitors uncomfortable. It is private property, and they reserve the right to remove you, even with law enforcement, if they consider you to be a danger or an unwelcome person at Chichen Itza
