Yaxuna, Archaeological site in Yaxcabá, Mexico.
The ruins of Yaxuná extend across multiple limestone platforms with pyramids, plazas, and residential structures covering several kilometers in the Yucatán region.
Archaeological evidence indicates that the first Maya inhabitants settled in Yaxuná between 750 and 500 BC, developing into a regional center connected to Cobá.
The site contains eleven burial chambers with skeletal remains and artifacts that demonstrate the complex funeral practices of Maya royal families.
Visitors can reach Yaxuná through the town of Yaxcabá, located 30 kilometers from the main highway connecting Mérida to Cancún.
A 100-kilometer stone pathway, known as sacbé, connects Yaxuná directly to the ancient city of Cobá, representing the longest raised road in the Maya world.
