Set within a region that is rich in vegetation and abundant in bird life, the Uxmal archaeological site features the remains of one of the most important Mayan cities. Here, simplicity of form and rich decoration are elegantly combined.
Uxmal is located 50 miles south of Merida, the capital of the state of Yucatan. Access is provided via Highway 261, and the typical drive time is approximately 1 hour.
Uxmal is translated as “three times”, referring to the number of times the city was rebuilt or expanded with major constructions. The various building phases are reflected in the variety of architectural styles exhibited in the ruins. The designs of the buildings combine simple base structures with elaborate mosaics and detailed stone patterns in the upper sections. These designs indicate the religious and political significance of each building.
The golden age of Mayan art took place between the seventh and eighth centuries, and Uxmal, in the heart of the Yucatan peninsula, is one of the period’s most impressive accomplishments. The “Oracle’s Pyramid” is a key monument, striking both for the purity of its lines and its baroque appearance. Notably, it was created by the systematic repetition of the mask of Chac, the Rain God. Further a field the “Nuns’ Quadrangle,” the pelota (ball game) court, the “House of the Turtles” and the “Governor’s Palace” – the most complete pre-Columbian construction still standing –inspire awe of masterful architecture. An impressive light & sound show delights visitors every night, enhancing the ruins’ grandiose and mystic feel.
