Chicanna
is not a large Mayan site, but is well worth the visit. It's close to
the road and very flat, so it's easy to see in about 1.5 hours. Close
to Xpuhil and Becan,
you can easily see all three in one day. Stay
across the street at Eco Village Resort and you can walk to Chicanna.
50 kilometers west of Chicanna is Balamku.
It can easily be seen on the same day as well.

This is the tallest of the structures at Chicanna. Chicanna is not as old as Becan. It was inhabited from 100 BC to around AD 1100 |

Detail
of the second story of Structure XX. This building has four Chac Muls
lined up on the corner. While the noses are broken, the quality of the
carvings are superb.

This is a picture of the House of the Serpent Mouth. If you look carefully, you can see that the door is a mouth, the teeth over the doorway, and the steps are the bottom teeth. If you look above the teeth you will see two eyes and a nose. | |
