It is a site related to the Mayan culture.

Its name means "reflection of water", a name that derives from its location on the banks of the Usumacinta River on top of a hill.

The city had a strategic location, since all the boats that circulated through the Usumacinta had to pass through the site.

Must see Buildings

The city is composed of several buildings built with limestone. One of the most important buildings is Structure 16, a pyramid with a height of 30 meters on top of the Acropolis platform with a panoramic view of the Usumacinta. In the upper part you can still appreciate the walls of a room, so it is believed that there was a temple.
