Dzibanché archaeological site
Though it's a chore to get to, the Dzibanché archaeological site is definitely worth a visit for its secluded, semiwild nature. While many of the trees were toppled by Dean, the site is recovering, and the temples withstood the blasting (those Maya were some bees-knees architects!). Dzibanché (dzee-ban- chay; literally, 'writing on wood') was a major city extending more than 40 sq km, and on the road in you pass huge mounds. The site itself is not completely excavated.

Kinich-Ná
Part of Dzibanché but well removed from the main site, Kinich-Ná consists of one building. But what a building: the megalithic Acrópolis held at least five temples on three levels, and a couple more dead VIPs with offerings. The site's name derives from the frieze of the Maya sun god once found at the top of the structure. It's an easy drive of 2km along a narrow but good road leading north from near Dzibanché's visitors center.

Kohunlich archaeological site
The Kohunlich archaeological site sits on a carpeted green. The most accessible of the corridor's ruins has nearly 200 mounds still covered in vegetation. The surrounding jungle was a thick tangle of half-felled trees at last pass.
