This ancient Mayan town which means "Protected by moats" was a very important ground for commerce in the beginning of the century millenium is completely surrounded by moats which well the protected the village. It is about 10 km from our village and this is one of the most impressive ruins I have seen so far. It is not as big as say Calakmul but the diversity and carvings on the buildings make this place stunning. This area was abandonned in the 1200's and was never affected by the conquistadors!
