Brief History

Yaxuná dates back to the Preclassic period and was once a thriving Maya city. It played an important role in regional politics, especially during the Classic era, and was connected by a massive sacbé (white road) to the famous city of Cobá. Over the centuries, new temples, ball courts, and pyramids were added, leaving behind impressive ruins that can still be explored today.
