A huge late-classic Maya site, 7-1000 AD, really well restored. The stand alone magicians pyramid most impressive, together with the acropolis.

The complex also had a large enclosed Plaza, heavily decorated friezes…

The ‘main’ temple was actually tucked away at one end of the site with the Iguanas

After an excellent visit it was on to Merida for a short orientation drive round the city in readiness for a free day the following day.
