Uxmal, located 62 km south of Mérida, is renowned for its grand size and intricate decoration. Its ancient sacbes (roads) once connected it to cities like Chichen Itzá, Caracol, Xunantunich, and Tikal. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Uxmal is a prime example of Puuc architecture, known for its unique style and cultural significance.
The site features intricate masks of the rain god Chaac, with entwined snakes and two-headed serpents symbolizing storm rays. Elements of the Nahua culture are also visible, reflecting the fusion of Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc worship with the original Puuc traditions.
