- Arqueologica de Moral-Reforma - This site is named for the abundance of moral trees and its location in the Reforma area, a small but significant village that controlled trade between Petén and the Gulf Coast along the San Pedro River for around 1,700 years.
Magnificent paired pyramids and intricate inscriptions, which highlight alliances with Calakmul and Palenque, are evidence of its historical importance. Visitors can climb the mounds for spectacular views.
- Pomoná Zona Arqueológica - Begin your visit with a short walk that immerses you in nature, accompanied by the sounds of howling monkeys and birds, and the tranquility of the site. The ancient Mayans sourced materials here to construct their buildings and monuments. Pomoná is named after a tributary stream of the lower Usumacinta.
Rich stelae, sculptures, panels, and hieroglyphic inscriptions reveal the history of its rulers and their relationships with other regional cities, including dependencies on Panjalé, Boca del Cerro, and Chinikihá, as well as territorial conflicts with Palenque, Piedras Negras, and La Mar.
Visit the museum to admire artifacts such as the tombstone of The Scribe, a stele depicting a high dignitary, a figurehead of the Sun-Jaguar God of The Underworld, eccentric flint knives, a bust of a Mayan figure, carved tombstones from Building 4, and a figure of an old man with a beard and hat.
- Cascada el Salto dentro del centro ecoturistico Huextoc Natzin - Delight your senses with the emerald green waters and the impressive 20-meter drop of this waterfall. Enjoy panoramic views and the extraordinary natural landscape from its three viewpoints. To reach the main viewpoint, you must walk approximately 400 meters, where the water’s mist will leave you soaked.
You can engage in various activities (not included) such as hiking, zip-lining, kayaking, and relaxing in the refreshing waters. The site also features a restaurant where you can savor typical local dishes.
