A visit to the old Uxmal town is well
worth a visit. Here you can study the Pyramid of the Magician, an
impressive building. Continue and have a look at the Nunnery
Quadrangle and the Governor's palace and climb up the steep steps
to the Great Pyraminde.
From the top here you will have a
beautiful view over the area. There is a saying that the Pyramid
of the Magician was build in one night. In this temple they
praised the god Chaac, the god of rain. Probably because of the
lack of water in the area.
