We will start our tour in Becan, a regional capital, with monumental architecture that was surrounded by a moat, unique in the Mayan area, and that flourished between years 600 and 1000 of our era. After that we will go to Chicanna archaeological site. Its name means “The House of the Snake Mouth”, and is thought to be part of the great city that was Becan. It owes its name to the façade of structure II, which is richly decorated with an enormous snake mask that symbolizes the sacred mountain. Besides in both sites we will be able to admire the spectacular jungle that surround them.
