Chichen Itza travel safety advice
When dealing with vendors; Many will say "Only 1 dollar" or "1 Peso", please do not assume that is the actual price of items they are selling. Once you try to complete the transaction it will be actually 1 dollar off or 1 peso off and you will be ask to further "negotiate" with them. This might delay you unnecessarily if you are with a tour group. Don't be afraid to walk away, they will follow you with a better offer, they enjoy the challenge, it's Mexico!!!
Be sure to have cash pesos; changing money may be difficult here, especially on weekends.
If you bring a video camera, they might charge you extra. Digital camera with video capability are exempted.
Tripods are forbidden unless you obtained special permits months ahead of time.
