Uxmal Travel Guide Tourist Attractions in Mexico
Set within a region in Mexico that is rich in vegetation and abundant in bird life, the Uxmal ruins represent the pinnacle of late Mayan art and Puuc architecture. The architecture has several predominant features, most notably constructions with a plain lower section and a richly decorated upper section. Puuc, which means “hill”, refers to the nearby hills in the area.
At 115 feet (35 m), the Pyramid of the Magician or Pyramid of the Dwarf is the tallest structure at Uxmal. Both of it names refer to an ancient legend stating that it was magically built overnight by an enchanted dwarf who then became the city’s ruler. The pyramid is unique among Mayan structures because of its layers are oval in shape, instead of the more common rectilinear plan.
