Kohunlich Mayan Ruins
Kohunlich, an hour southwest of Rancho Encantado, is best-known for its enormous stucco masks carved into the pyramid of the sun. It is also notable for its elaborate hydro engineering projects, which enabled the Maya to flourish in large numbers in an area with little fresh water. The surrounding jungle is a wonderful bird-watching area, alive with song in the early morning.
Rancho Encantado tours may also be arranged to other sites, including new excavations. To arrange custom tours to any of these sites, please contact us.
