A little less than 2 hours, either leaving Chetumal or Bacalar, there are 3 extremely interesting archaeological sites in order of proximity: Xpujil, Becan and Chicanah, which present us with a good alternative to learn about some peculiar features of the architecture of the Mayan culture. which are very accessible especially if you travel to Chetumal or Bacalar.

Let’s talk about the archaeological site of Xpujil (Cat’s Tail in Maya), the name given to a plant native to the region. The site is located a few steps from the federal highway, but you have to pay attention because they are not in sight, 3 buildings are those that are visited being the last one the most interesting, especially because it is a temple almost at ground level unlike most of the common palaces of the Mayans.

Becán Mayan city that is 8 km past the town of Xpujil towards Calakmul, the city had 7 entrances simulating the 7 holes of a human head ears, nostrils, eyes and mouth, temples of the ancient Mayan elite of great size and a moat for collecting water, you can even see a small field of the Mayan ball game.

Chicanná (In the house of the snake’s mouth) a truly extraordinary site for its very elaborate architecture, Rio Bec type, a short route but for many of its visitors more interesting.
