    I’d put Uxmal on the list for a temple visit.

    More about this place

    Uxmal is an ancient Maya city within an hour's drive from Merida. It was a major regional capital during the Late Classic period, and its monumental architecture and artwork are considered some of the finest examples of the Puuc style.

    The site features several impressive structures, including the Pyramid of the Magician, the Governor's Palace, and the Great Pyramid. Uxmal is also known for its ornate friezes and intricate stone carvings, which feature a blend of geometric and organic motifs.

    Today, Uxmal is a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
