Of course we can’t tell you all of the Mayan’s 5000-year-old history. But not far from us, there are two major archaeological sites of great importance. The tour takes you first to Uxmal, a renowned gem of Mayan architecture. The beauty of the Puuc style surpasses the even more important and larger site of Chichen Itza in many ways. The most outstanding buildings are the Pyramid of the Magician, the Convent of the Nuns, and the Palace of the Governor.
After visiting Uxmal we drive on to Kabah, about 20 kilometers (12,5 miles) south of Uxmal. Kabah is a large archeological zone, which stretches along the road. “Codz Poop”, the Palace of the Masks, is the most important attraction of this place of worship. Here you will see innumerable masks representing the rain god Chaac.
