Kabah
Kabah is located 23 km. at the southeast of Uxmal near the freeway 261; the right detour in the 16th kilometer has been interpreted as “Lord with the powerful hand”. This city was always in the Mayan culture soul, even after the Spanish conquest and is mentioned in ancient texts like Chilam Balam, that’s why it’s supposed it was a place as important as Uxmal.
X Lapak
Xpalak, It’s located 38 km southeast of Uxmal on freeway 261 and at the junction with interstate 31. This zone has a handcraft store to buy some souvenirs. In this site have been discovered many important Mayan buildings, one of them richly decorated with masks of the God Chaac.
