This archeological site is located 47 Km. southeast of Merida. Despite this is not a place that has had big constructions in its apogee (1200-1450 a.c.) like some other Mayan cities, it offers the opportunity of knowing a city linked to the end of the post classic period, which is considered as the last in the prehispanic development of the Mayas. This city was built as imitation of Chichen Itza, in a period of fights between the different mayan provinces in decadence. It should be said that from the post classic period an epoch of destruction begings at Mayapan structure as a result of the fights before the conquest and then during the conquest due the imposition of the spaniard's culture.

These mythical Mayan ruins remain to remind us of the ancient capital of the triple alliance formed with Uxmal and Chichen Itza. One of the most notable constructions is the "Castle of Kukulkan", made in the image and identical to the Castle of Chichen Itza.
