Once we were back from Playa del Carmen, we had just three more days to enjoy Merida and Yucatan in general.
About 30 minutes from our rental house, which is the best house we have ever rented, there is a small, but very important archeological site, DZIBILCHALTUN. The name means "place where writing is found on flat rocks."
The site is beautiful, very green, with lots of trees and it even has its own cenote or rather ojo de agua (water whole).
The main attraction seems to be cenote, for everyone can go swimming in it, and we did. To me, however, the main attraction is the "House of the Seven Dolls," name because when excavated, they found seven small female figurines.
But the whole site is just breathtaking. Looking around you hear the birds sing (lots of them by the way), you see iguanas, you see strange trees with strange flowers, and of course MOSQUITOS.
And because humidity is at 1000%, you look like this in front of one of the most beautiful "ojos de agua" I've seen.
From afar, the water looks so crystal clear blue, and once in it, it turns green... what sort of magic is at work here?
Fresh refreshing water that calms the day heat.
The most spectacular event about this site happens in March and December, where the sun comes up and shines through the house.... I mean, the house was built in a way that is perfectly aligned with the sunrise.
The Maya people did not do things by chance. Everything was calculated!

IZAMAL!
