Oxkintok, Maya archaeological site in Puuc region, Yucatan, Mexico.

Stone buildings with carved details spread across multiple architectural groups connected by white limestone pathways cover this 130-feet elevation settlement.

Excavations indicate settlement occupation from 300 to 550 AD, developing into a regional capital with strategic trade connections to the Gulf of Mexico.

The site contains some of the earliest Maya ballcourts, demonstrating the importance of ceremonial sports activities in ancient society.

Located 34 miles south of Merida, the site welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 17:00 with admission fees of 75 Mexican pesos.

The Satunsat structure, built as a three-level stone maze, features narrow passages and chambers that replicate an underground cave system.
