Typical of this style, the Maya decorated the entire front of the principal facade of their structures. Generally, the face of the sacred monster, the iguana or Itzamna, was represented with the mouth open.
In addition to the three restored buildings at Hochob, one can appreciate an example of one of the most ancient systems for capturing and storing rain water used by the ancient Maya: the chultunes or cisterns.
