Ek Balam (Black Jaguar) 20.8923° N, 88.1359° W This ancient Maya city was once a regional capital and is home to one of the most impressive sets of artwork in the northern Yucatán peninsula. Founded early on in the middle pre-classic period and lasting until the classic collapse, this site features many architectural styles, but is unique for the details of its preserved stucco carvings upon the facade of its well preserved royal tomb.
