The Kabah site, part of the Uxmal UNESCO World Heritage Site in Yucatán, Mexico, is a striking example of Maya architecture from the Puuc region. Known for its ornate stonework, Kabah features the Palace of the Masks, adorned with hundreds of intricately carved Chaac (rain god) masks, showcasing the civilization’s artistic and religious sophistication. Located near the larger Uxmal complex, it highlights the Maya’s advanced urban planning and cultural heritage, drawing visitors to its well-preserved ruins amidst the lush jungle setting. Founded around 700 AD, Uxmal was once a thriving city and is now one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Maya people.
