  • You mountain goat types will not be able to climb the Temple of the Magician. It is just as steep as the temple at Chichen Itza (you can't climb that one either), and according to my sources, taller than the Chichen Itza pyramid. Either the site doesn't allow climbing at all on the temple, or the pyramid was temporarily closed to climbing due to renovation. This wasn't clear to us.

    What was clear was the "barricade" to the steps was one of those flimsy yellow police tapes - the kind of tape used to cordon off a crime scene. And people were obeying it. So plan to look and admire, but don't climb.

    Things To Do: Climb up the Grand Pyramid

  • While you cannot climb up the Pyramid of the Magician, you CAN climb up and down the Grand Pyramid on the southern side of the ruins. The steps here are tall and shallow - typical of construction during the classic Mayan period. While I didn't have the same sense of light headed vertigo here that I got when climbing the pyramid at Chichen Itza 12 years ago, let's just say that you probably won't see anyone taking the stair up or down two at time here in Uxmal.

     It is also nice to note that the pyramids seem even steeper in the 100 degree F heat ;-]
