Must-sees for your visit:

1. The Acropolis: Admire the intricate stucco details on the tomb of Ukit Kan Le’k Tok.

2. The Oval Palace: A unique circular structure in the region’s architecture.

Unlike other sites, the jungle here seems to embrace every structure, giving you the feeling of being a true explorer.
