    Kabah is a smaller Mayan city near Uxmal. If you go, it's possible you'll be the only group or one…read moreof very few who visit. Entry fee at the time of my visit was 80 pesos/person (~$5) and must be paid in cash. As far as significance, the main notable structure is the palace of masks. You can get very close to these and check out the ornate 3d carvings. Very unique and different from what you see at Chichen Itza. Also, I really liked the carving of the two royal figures. Those are super cool and worth seeing because they are unique to this site. I didn't see anything similar at Uxmal or Chichén Itza. Overall: Worth doing as an add-on to Uxmal. Probably worth 30-45 minutes. Maybe longer if you're an archaeologist or expert.

    Amazing to Explore these Small but Impressive & Detailed Ruins - Beautiful, Quiet and Off the…read moreBeaten Tourist Path! I visited the Kabah Ruins on the afternoon of November 23rd with a friend as part of our two-day road trip along the Ruta Puuc from Merida. In the morning of November 23rd, we visited the Uxmal Ruins and then continued on to Kabah during the first day (we visited the smaller Ruta Puuc ruins on the second day - Sayil, Xlapak and Labna). After Uxmal, the highway narrows to one lane and the jungle encroaches super close to the edge of the road. The landscape and scenery along the drive was beautiful, with lots of rolling hills in the jungle along the winding road. The highway was newly paved and in great condition. The signage was good and the ruins of Kabah were located about 10 minutes past the Mayan village of Santa Elena and about 20 minutes from the Uxmal ruins. You can see the ruins right from the highway and you can't miss it. There was a small gravel parking lot on the right side of the highway and the entrance to the ruins was across the highway on the left side. The entrance fee was 47 pesos and parking was free. My friend and I were the only people at the ruins, which made for such a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. It was lovely to explore these quieter and more off the beaten path ruins at a leisurely pace and have the entire place to ourselves. The ruins site was small and compact and was situated on a large grassy area surrounded by jungle. Most of the ruins were very well-preserved and the grounds were well-maintained. The three-tiered Palacio temple was huge, impressive and beautifully restored. It was a beautiful structure with lots of small rooms, detailed architecture and intricately carved designs, masks and carvings on the rocks, and lots of columns. Climbing was not allowed on the Palacio but we could touch and climb on most of the other structures. The other ruins and structures surrounding the Palacio were beautiful as well, with many of the building walls covered with amazing carvings of the Mayan rain god, Chaac. There were some structures that were only partially excavated and still mostly covered in jungle plants as well. After wandering the ruins on the left side of the road, we crossed the highway to the other side (where the parking lot was) to see the beautiful Arch of Kabah, reached after a short walk down a wide path through the jungle. The mosquitoes were absolutely terrible on this side of the highway and even strong repellent couldn't keep them away! As a result, we didn't stay too long here. The arch was gorgeous and had such detailed architecture. A sacbe (ancient white stone road) used to pass through the arch and led from Kabah to Uxmal. Also along the path from the highway to the arch, we could see a very tall and impressive looking rock mound in the jungle, completely covered with trees and plants. It appeared to be a large pyramid, but it had yet to be uncovered and excavated. It felt like I was discovering it for the first time. I really enjoyed seeing the ruin among the natural jungle setting and it was interesting to see what it would look and feel like for the explorers who first discovered these Mayan ruins. Bring water, snacks and lots of mosquito repellent when visiting these ruins. I thoroughly enjoyed by experience exploring and admiring the Kabah ruins. I look forward to returning here one day again and would highly recommend these ruins to anyone traveling in the Yucatan!
