Kabah

Kabáh "strong hand" is a Puuc maya site on Highway 261, about 90 miles southwest of Mérida in Yucatan State. Kabáh is 12 miles south of Uxmal and is connected by a sacbe with a monumental arches at both ends. Kabáh was first occupied prior to 200 BC. Most of the visible architecture was built between the 600 AD to 1000 AD. The "Palace of the Masks" and the monumental arch are the must see structures. No cenotes exist in this area, so the Maya here had to depend solely on the rain.
