On 11JAN, protesters lifted a roadblock that prevented tourists from visiting the iconic Chichén Itzá archaeological site in Mexico for 10 days, reports Mexico News Daily. According to the country’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH), the roads were reopened after negotiations with indigenous activists, vendors and community members who blocked the roads due to claims that Chichén Itzá director Marco Antonio Santos Ramírez limited the amount of artisan stalls on site and prevented them from speaking in Mayan, among other issues.
