Must see Buildings

According to the hieroglyphic texts engraved on the monuments of the stairs of the Temple of the Captives, as well as by the offerings found in the funeral chambers it is noted that this site was involved in the conquest of several villages in the southern Yucatan Peninsula.

This group consists of a series of buildings around a large plaza. It is distinguished by a megalithic acropolis of three levels and various temples.

North to the site there is a monumental pyramid which dominates the landscape known as K'inich Na ("House of the Sun God"). Two royal burials were discovered inside the structure with rich offerings including jade objects.

The grove that covers the entire place gives it a spectacular effect when combined with the old structures.
