Xlapak

Xlapak is a small Maya archaeological site in the Puuc Hills of southeastern Mexico, between the ancient centers of Labná and Sayil near Oxkutzcab. Dating to the Late and Terminal Classic periods, it was established in an agricultural valley, with its main core on the valley floor and evidence of wider settlement on the surrounding hills. The site has three main groups, with notable palaces in Groups 1 and 2, including a nine-room palace with decorated façades and another marked by columns. Its well-preserved Puuc-style architecture includes richly ornamented upper façades and masks of Chaac, making Xlapak a finely preserved example of this regional Maya tradition.
