This is probably the biggest and most imprtant site of the south of Quintana Roo. Its name Dizibanché means “Structures over Wood” making honor to the wooden lintels with calendar inscriptions that were found. One of which is preserved in perfect conditions to date in one of the buildings of this site, which has an extension of 40 square Kms, and where we can find a great variety of architectonic sets that allow us to appreciate the great monumentality and construction quality of that period.
