Tenam Puente Maya ruins

TIME : 2016/2/18 10:01:08

These Maya ruins feature three ball courts, a 20m tiered pyramid and other structures rising from a terraced, wooded hillside. Like Chinkultic Tenam Puente was one of a set of fringe Classic Maya settlements in this part of Chiapas that (unlike more famed lowland sites such as Palenque and Yaxchilán) seem to have survived in the post-Classic period, possibly as long as AD 1200. It has a pleasant rural setting and good long-distance views.
