Wow, visually stunning in HD. I have just two wants. (I've been through the Yucatan) I want one of her pet kitties, and about half the money it cost
to make that video!
That was wonderful.
I just watched "Fix it", so now I want one more thing. His drummer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6H3TvqRmdDM

And a few shots of Chichen Itza. It was beautiful but not really a video of Yucatan. It was strange too.

When I lived in Maryland the cheapest places in Mexico to fly to were in the Yucatan. When I went to Cozumel back then you could snorkel in the lagoon
with thousand of tropical fish and if you took a loaf of bread they would swarm you and leave hickey marks all over your body while they were feeding.
When I returned last year you could no longer get in the water there and I saw very few fish in the water. Just progress I guess.

Early on seconds of El Castillo and the Handball Court (a vertical hoop on the wall). I checked out after a few minutes.

Climbing steps. Don't know when your last visit was down there, but probably the most famous structure in Yucatan is the Temple of Kulkulcan at
Chichen Itza. Due to worries about erosion, the government banned climbing of this temple around ten years ago.
I've climbed it more than once. Pero, no mas.

Great video, but Nahko is a mix of Apache and Filipino { like me} and the video snippets are from the Estrellas del Bicentenario commercials.
I kept wondering how he got the money to produce such a awesome video for his song 
Below is a quote from the bottom of the lyrics page of the video.
This is an Unofficial video I made for the enjoyment of the people ღ
-Nino (SailinJerry)
*Original footage was used for a series of commercials called Estrellas del Bicentenario, which was part of the Bicentennial celebration
intended to reflect the natural beauty of Mexico to the world. Created by Pedro Torres, Diego Pernía and the Mates Group. It aired in 2010 on
Televisa.

In the case of Chichen the no climbing rule happened when a grandmother I believe from Germany fell to her death while climbing El Castillo......
