14. Chichen Itza, Mexico

Chichen Itza is one of the most beloved tourist destinations in the world. Located in eastern Mexico, it is a remarkably preserved Mayan structure that still attracts millions of tourists to this day. Much like many such remarkably preserved ruins, it really does fire up the imagination.

Unfortunately, you can only approach it from a distance and look at it, but can’t climb it. Once upon a time visiting tourists could climb it, but it was so overrun it began to damage the structure. Not to mention, some folk were trying to graffiti it. The nerve.
