Uxmal Map

Uxmal means "'built three times" in the Mayan language, and though its name is a mystery, its beauty is not. As a World Heritage site, it is one of the best-restored and maintained archaeological sites in the Yucatán, and certainly one of the most magnificent. Its architecture, some of the most majestic of the Yucatán sites, is characterized by low horizontal palaces set around courtyards, decorated with rich sculptural elements and details.
