Chunyaxche - Mayan ruins at Muyil

The Mayan site of Chunyaxche, also known as Muyil, is a Mayan city in southern Quintana Roo. Only "Muyil A" is open to the public. The site probably began to be populated already around 300 B.C.
The nearby lagoons of Muyil and Chunyaxche show many traces of Mayan civilization, including a system of canals connecting the lagoons with the open sea.
