Pok Ta Pok

Mexico

Pok Ta Pok is a Maya archaeological site dating from the Late Postclassic period located near the Nichupté lagoon in the Hotel Zone of Cancún in northern Quintana Roo, Mexico. The site is part of the Maya region of the East Coast of Quintana Roo and according to its characteristics, it was a Postclassic ceremonial center near the site of El Rey. The site consists of 2 ruined structures of the East Coast architectural style. With the urban and tourist expansion that took place in the Cancun hotel zone between the 1970s and 1980s, the ruins of Pok Ta Pok ended up within the private lands of a now-abandoned golf course.
