This Photo of the Week, captured by Local Guide Chuy Ortiz, features the ancient pyramid Chichén Itzá in Yucatan, Mexico. Our eye is drawn to the architectural details, as well as the texture in the sky and vivid green plants that frame the scene.
The Local Guides Photo of the Week is chosen based on a variety of criteria: location, subject matter, and image quality (but not view counts) factor into our selection.
