Uxmal is a unique and incredibly well-preserved Mayan site, and there are several reasons you should make a trip to visit this ancient city. One of the first unique aspects of Uxmal is the design of the ancient structures.
Unlike the square and rectangle shape of most other temples, Uxmal has round and oval pyramid structures, making it a fascinating outlier among many of the other major Mayan ruin sites. This imposing 115-foot oval pyramid is called the Pyramid of the Magician, and is the top attraction at this site.
One other unique and noteworthy reason to visit Uxmal is the fact that this site puts on an evening light show. The light show itself is a bit dated, but it is still fun and informative. Best of all, it is a great way to witness the Mayan ruins under the stars. In fact, this is one of the few Mayan ruins in all of Mexico that you can visit at night on a regular basis.
Things we like:
-
The light show is a fun family-friendly option -
The oval Pyramid of the Magician is unique and worth traveling for
-
Amazing to marvel at the ruins at night under the stars
Things we don't like:
-
The ruins are not as grand as some other temple complexes -
There are other better-preserved ruins with more to see in the area
-
The light show is dated, and not up to modern technology standards
