Tekax, is located in the south of the state of Yucatán approximately 1:15 hours from the city of Mérida Yucatán, and is within the region known as Ruta Puuc, surrounded by hills and its main attraction, the caves that for the Mayans they were the gates to the underworld.
Tekax means "Place of the woods" and has colonial buildings of great interest to visit such as the parish of "San Juan Bautista", the hermitage of San Diego and the Chapel of the Eternal Father.
