How We Spent our Christmas Vacation

Sayil




Sayil is best reached by rental car from Cancun or Merida, or by special tour. Located in the Puuc Hills region near Uxmal, it is one of several ceremonial centers in this area. Along with Kabah and Labna, Sayil is a very impressive site and should not be missed if you are going to tour this area. The main structure at Sayil is The Palace, a short walk leads to El Mirador, a temple structure, and nearby is a fertility sculpture from post classic period.
