EarnestB visited on 30th Nov 2018 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Wonderful site. Not completely excavated but most of the main buildings are fully excavated. If you choose one site to visit in the Yucatan, I would recommend Uxmal.

Reconstruction in the 20thC was minimal compared to many other sites because the main structures were so well built, with little plaster "filler." Despite the beauty of the site and the massive public buildings, little excavation has been performed at Uxmal, so past population estimates are considered very speculative. The site was occupied at the Conquest, but the population was so small the Spanish did not build in the immediate area to administrate and control.
A UNESCO World Heritage site.
Note: Passageway discovered beneath the Governor's Palace at Uxmal, more details in the comments on our page
