People should respect that regardless of what country they're from. ALWAYS respect the people and lands you visit on your travels. You are a guest!" A second person added, "WOW. This is beyond disrespectful." A third person wrote, "Almost 30 years ago, we climbed the pyramid at Chichen Itza. Even then stairs were so worn and steep that my partner had a full-on panic attack trying to descend. Glad for the changes to preserve these irreplaceable monuments," said a third.
