\u201cLa Acr\u00f3polis\u201d is the best preserved construction, with 32 meters high it invites you to reach its highest part, and on the way to the top you will find surprising details that are still preserved. \u201cLa Fachada de Ek Balam\u201d is on the fourth level, it has an impressive relief with great fangs resembling the mouth of a monster; for the Mayans, this place represents the entrance to the underworld from which you are reborn. In its interior the tomb of a great Mayan lord was found. Something that should not be missed are the famous winged warriors located on the sides of the facade.<\/p>

Presently, on the side of one of the doors it is possible to appreciate a small mural that is still slightly colored, which leads us to conclude that more murals must have been made by this ancient civilization.<\/p>

Most of the constructions have rounded corners and that is why one of the temples is called \u201cPalacio Oval.\u201d It is also possible to visit \u201cEl Juego de Pelota\u201d and \u201cLas Pir\u00e1mides Gemelas.\u201d<\/p><\/div>
