Sítios arqueológicos maias em Quintana Roo

Ancient Mayan Archaeological Sites

Quintana Roo’s archaeological landscape spans from the iconic clifftop ruins of Tulum to the sprawling jungle complexes of Coba and Dzibanché. These sites showcase the evolution of Mayan urban planning, featuring defensive fortifications, coastal navigation markers, and massive pyramids. Key locations include the island sanctuary of San Gervasio on Cozumel and the early Preclassic structures of Ichkabal. Visitors can explore well-preserved stelae, intricate stucco reliefs, and extensive sacbeob—ancient white roads—that once connected these powerful city-states across the Yucatan Peninsula.
