The Mayan archaeological site of Uxmal is near the city of Mérida, capital of the state of Yucatán. Uxmal is one of the most important sites in the classical Mayan world, boasting the steepest pyramid in all of Mexico.
The buildings take advantage of the unevenness of the terrain to gain height and in some cases stand out for their volume, such as the pyramid of "El adivino" with five levels.
