Chacmultun, Maya archaeological site in Tekax, Mexico
Built with red limestone blocks, the structures of Chacmultun spread across three main areas covering one square kilometer at 60 meters above sea level.
The site displays architectural elements from multiple Maya periods, with structures built on foundations reaching heights of 8 meters between 300 BCE and 1000 CE.
The murals inside the buildings contain various Maya motifs and figures, while the ball court measures 25 meters in length with adjacent temple structures.
Located 120 kilometers southeast of Merida, the site opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with guide Julio Sosa available for informative tours.
The red limestone walls of Chacmultun change color intensity when exposed to moisture due to microorganisms living within the stone material.
