| What is it? |
The ruins of a small Mayan community with a pyramid, just north of Cancún! |
| What makes it historical? |
This small fishing village got started between 300 and 600 AD, which fed and received support from the inland city of Cobá! It was a hub of trade, both in goods and religious ideas along the coast and inland! Nonetheless, much of what we know about it is based on guesswork, because it was abandoned in the 1500s AD! |
| How can I Help the Helpers? |
HERE’S HOW:
- Pay the entrance fee to help maintain trails, signs, structures, and other visitor services!
- Be a responsible visitor! Please respect the signs and pathways, and treat all structures and artifacts with respect. They’ve endured a lot to survive into the present. They’ll need our help to make it into the future!
