Amidst salt mines and beautiful vegetation, which serves the birds as their principal refuge, you find the ruins of Xcambó. Behind the recently built chapel, you can see pyramidal platforms mounted by ancient Mayan temples. On their sides, you can appreciate fragments of stucco masks and faces protected by a thatched roof.

What makes Xcambó unique is the combination of fully restored pyramids, areas under excavation, and mounds that, as of yet, are unexplored. This way, the Xcambó site offers you the opportunity to appreciate the effort it takes to accomplish the final goal of archeological excavation: a building restored. We invite you to discover for yourself ancient pottery fragments surfacing from the ground; they will remind you that during the post-classic period of Mayan history (1200-1450 A.D.), Xcambó was an important city.
