Uxmal (Yucatec Maya: Óoxmáal [óˑʃmáˑl]) is an ancient Maya city of the classical period in present-day Mexico. It is considered one of the most important archaeological sites of Maya culture, along with Palenque and Calakmul in Mexico; Caracol and Xunantunich in Belize, and Tikal in Guatemala. It is located in the Puuc region and is considered one of the Maya cities most representative of the region's dominant architectural style. It has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in recognition of its significance.
It is located 62 km south of Mérida, capital of Yucatán state in Mexico. Its buildings are noted for their size and decoration. Ancient roads called sacbes connect the buildings, and also were built to other cities in the area such as Chichén Itzá, Caracol and Xunantunich in modern-day Belize, and Tikal in modern-day Guatemala.
Its buildings are typical of the Riley Kand Puuc style, with smooth low walls that open on ornate friezes based on representations of typical Maya huts. These are represented by columns (representing the reeds used for the walls of the huts) and trapezoidal shapes (representing the thatched roofs). Entwined snakes and, in many cases two-headed snakes are used for masks of the rain god, Chaac; its big noses represent the rays of the storms. Feathered serpents with open fangs are shown leaving from the same human beings. Also seen in some cities are the influences of the Nahua, who followed the cult of Quetzalcoatl and Tlaloc. These were integrated with the original elements of the Puuc tradition.

Not knowing what to do for our second stop on our 5-Day Carnival Cruise in Progreso (Yucatan) Mexico, we started looking at the different excursions they had to offer. There was Dzibilchaltún Mayan Ruins, Chichen Itza Mayan Ruins, and there was Uxmal Mayan Ruins. Dzibilchaltún looked kind of small, and Chichen Itza had a 2.5 hour bus ride. We did our research and found out that Uxmal had one of the highest ratings and was one of the last big pyramids you can still climb and explore....so we booked it! And boy, are we glad we did! What a memory! It started with meeting our tour guide in the Mikado show lounge of the ship. Then the group (about 20 of us) walked out to the tour bus. We were given a sack lunch as we boarded the bus (Ham sandwich, bag of chips, banana, and a bottled water (12 ...
Travel video about destination Uxmal in Mexico. Surrounded by Nature and located 80 km west of the Mexican city of Merida is one of the most remarkable archaeological sites in Yucatan: Uxmal.Legend has it that the 38m. high Wizard Pyramid was given its name because it was believed that it had, in just one night, been built by a wizard. Uxmal is believed to be a classic example of Puuc architecture and is therefore an historic relic of ancient Mayan culture. Little is known about the exact history of this city but it is thought that it flourished mainly between the 8th and 11th century. According to archaeologists, Uxmal's most important buildings were built during this period. Adjacent to the Wizard Pyramid is the Nuns' Quadrangle, a rectangular building that was given its name by the Span...

La zona arqueológica de Kabah que significa "La Mano Poderosa" está a 100 Km al sur de Mérida y aunque es pequeña y todavía está en proceso de reconstrucción, es famosa por el hermoso edificio llamado el Codz Poop, adornado con cientos de mascaras del dios de la lluvia llamado Chaac. El nombre del edificio en maya yucateco significa "Estera o Petate enrollado".

The Mayan city of Uxmal ("oosh-mahl", meaning "thrice-built") in the Yucatan was the capital of the Late Classic Mayan state that flourished between 850-925 AD. Uxmal is considered one of the best examples of Puuc architecture, which is named for the nearby hills and characterized by simple stone structures at ground level topped by elaborate horizontal stone carvings of serpents, birds, and the hawk-nosed rain god Chac. Its three main structures are the Pyramid of the Magician, the Nunnery Quadrangle, and the Governor's Palace, with many more smaller sites scattered through the 150 acres of excavated and restored ruins. Uxmal is located about an hour away from Merida, the present day capital of the State of Yucatan in Mexico. Day tours are available form Merida, including one that depart...
