Native Trails MyTrails 2026 324 Yucatán 62 Visit of the archaeological site of Chunhuhub Duration: 01:00 h · Level: Easy The importance of the archaeological zone of Chunhuhub, a place founded in the Late Classic period (600 – 800 AD), results from the harmonious composition of the façades in Puuc style. Ashlars were cut and laid extremely carefully and then decorated with geometrical and animal patterns, but also with semicolumns and other elements, which create a fascinating chiaroscuro effect. In the interior of the buildings, the vaulted ceilings deserve special attention. Stones in different stages of finishing lie about on the site, indicating that further large structures had been planned, but were not carried out. 63 Ticum city tour Duration: 01:00 h · Level: Easy During your tour through Ticum, you will see a medley of building styles. Many houses have been inspired by colonial models and often display colorful paintings. Others are based on the traditional Mayan construction: Although their walls are made of stone instead of vertical sticks in most of the cases, the hip roof of straw is an unmistakable reference to their origin. Next to the school center are the ruins of St. Anthony’s church – an impressive building with its thick walls and the arches crowning them. You should pay particular attention to the exterior decoration of the walls – a unique diagonal crisscross pattern of mortar. 64 Learn the Mayan language and join in mathematics lessons Duration: 01:30 h · Level: Easy In the heart of the ancient Maya land, in Yaxunah, you will meet our teacher, who is dedicated to preserving the Maya language and mathematics.
