Chicanná

The archaeological site spans multiple structures featuring facades decorated with stone carvings of serpents, deities, and geometric patterns throughout the complex.

The settlement reached its peak during the Late Classic Maya period between 600 and 830 AD, when its inhabitants constructed elaborate ceremonial buildings.

Structure II contains eight rooms with decorated plaster walls and presents a large serpent mouth entrance, reflecting the Maya belief in sacred portals.

The archaeological zone maintains regular visiting hours from 8 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours explaining the architectural features of seven main buildings.

Structure I includes four relief panels built in Rio Bec style and contains six rooms that align with specific solar movements for calendar calculations.
