vehicle called tricitaxi, (a tricycle that puts a bench and take you to make a
tour of the city).
At 7 kilometers away from
the place, you can reach the ruins of Chacmultún, whose meaning in the Mayan
language is “Cerro de la Piedra Roja”. Its architecture is in the Puuc style,
from the late classic period of the 11th to the 9th century.
The word Puuc means sierra
