Hochob, Maya archaeological site in Campeche, Mexico
Located on a 30-meter high rectangular hill, Hochob extends 200 meters east to west with three main plazas connected by stone staircases.
Explorer Teobert Maler discovered and documented this Late Classic Period settlement in 1887, publishing the first photographs in Globus magazine in 1895.
The main palace features intricate stone masks of Itzamná, the Maya creator deity, and corner sculptures of Chaac, the rain god with upturned snouts.
The archaeological complex lies 14 kilometers from Chencoh village and maintains several chultunes, ancient Maya systems for collecting and storing rainwater.
A complete replica of one principal facade from Hochob stands in Mexico City's National Museum of Anthropology, preserving its architectural details.
