Muyil, Archaeological site in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Muyil contains multiple architectural structures across 38 hectares of jungle, including a central plaza, temples, and the prominent stepped El Castillo building point.
The settlement began in 300 BCE and developed into a significant trading post connecting inland Mayan communities with coastal areas through an intricate lagoon system.
Archaeological findings at the site include jade ornaments, shell jewelry, and ceremonial objects that indicate the religious practices of Mayan civilization.
The archaeological zone opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with an entrance fee of 70 Mexican pesos for the ruins and 65 for the nature reserve.
The site integrates within the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, where visitors can explore ancient canals and waterways used by Mayans for maritime trade.
