A extremely difficult ruin to pronounce (tzibil-chaltoon) this ancient Mayan site is one more one that rivals the awe factor of Chichen Itza, as well as yet only sees a fraction of the crowds. found about 30 km north of Merida, this site was strategically developed close to the coastal salt-producing region, while still being found in a fertile as well as habitable landmass.
This site was continuously occupied for countless years, right up up until the time of the Spanish Conquest in 1519. Its most famous structure is the temple of the seven Dolls, so named since of seven little (and somewhat creepy) effigies that were found inside the temple when it was very first excavated in the 1950s.
Visitors can still view the dolls at the on site museum as well as there are likewise numerous other buildings to check out including the ruins of a colonial open chapel. Each building is linked by the Sacbe (white road) as well as there’s a lovely cenote on the grounds, so make sure you bring your bathing suit.
