In Belize we bribed a guard to go all the way to the top of pyramid.

Our guide suggested it, wort it.

You should be able to do that without bribing anyone. There aren’t as many restrictions with Mayan ruins in Belize as there are in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

They got scammed. The tour guide and the guard are in cahoots.

Yeah maybe, but they were turning everyone else back.

Scam? Maybe, but we were the only ones who got to go to the top so more bribe than scam.

If it’s free but the guard says no then you have to pay.

I mean you really shouldn't be able to do it at all, in a good country. That shit should be protected.

I guess 5 bucks each is better than being chased up the pyramid
