Walk among the trails to discover one of the largest archaeological sites known in the Lakes Region. Be fascinated by the philosophy of the region and discover why it is called “Place of red corn” It is a settlement of seventy kilometers with buildings, many of them unexplored.

The main structures are Great Basement, Las Vias and Group II which correspond mainly to temples and places for civic activities.

A place that is very close to Mahahual beach. Tourists from cruise ships take tours to the ruins. One of the greatest pleasures is seeing the families of monkeys that live in the trees pass by. Early in the morning or almost at closing time you can see the monkeys swinging or, if you are lucky, hear the howling monkeys.
